What is a symptom of intermediate stages of hypothermia?

High blood pressure
Rapid breathing
Confusion and fatigue
Excessive sweating

The correct answer is: Confusion and fatigue

Confusion and fatigue are symptoms of intermediate stages of hypothermia because as the body's temperature drops, the central nervous system is affected, causing difficulty in thinking and loss of coordination. This can lead to a state of confusion and fatigue. High blood pressure is not a symptom, but rather a result of the body's attempt to constrict blood vessels and retain heat. Rapid breathing and excessive sweating are early signs of hypothermia and are not present in the intermediate stage.
