You should use process of elimination. In this case, the question says nothing about use of antibiotics and regression means reduction...

Blues and kma230 are right. Eliminate the answers that are not likely and use logic for the rest

I think it has to do with your immune system. Your body works hard to fight off an infection, which causes the skin to appear red and inflamed.

Yea, as part of the immune response we release proinflammatory factors that increases body temp in the area etc etc in order to try kill the infective agent as bacteria(not all) have optimum temp ranges that are narrow enough
