What is a symptom?

Answer
A
condition that the doctor sees or notices on the patient
B
feeling or sensation that is experienced by the patient
C
special test that measures a patient's vital signs
D
preference that a patient tells the doctor about during an exam

A symptom is something a patient feels or experiences, such as pain, nausea, or dizziness. A condition a doctor can observe is a sign, not a symptom, so the correct choice is “feeling or sensation that is experienced by the patient.”
