b) Heat exhaustion.
Rationale: Heat exhaustion presents with heavy sweating, muscle cramps, pale/moist skin, weakness, nausea, and a mild-to-moderate fever (~101°F). Heat stroke would have a much higher core temperature (>104°F) and hot, dry skin and altered mental status. Heat cramps are limited to painful muscle spasms without the systemic weakness/nausea and often no fever.
