Ans: D
Feedback:
The prodromal period may vary from abrupt to insidious, with general malaise, myalgia, arthralgias, easy fatigability, and severe anorexia out of proportion to the degree of illness. The icterus phase usually follows the prodromal phase within 5 to 10 days. The icterus phase can have the onset of jaundice, followed by severe pruritus and liver tenderness.
