Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Duckett Jones criteria are used to diagnose Rheumatic fever and include both major and minor clinical criteria.
The major criteria include: carditis (which seems to be a typo here as “Carelitis”), polyarthritis, chorea, subcutaneous nodules, and erythema marginatum.
Chorea is one of the classic major signs — also called Sydenham’s chorea.
Erythema marginatum is a distinctive rash seen in some cases of Rheumatic fever.
Meningitis is not a criterion for Rheumatic fever and is unrelated.
Therefore, the correct choices are A (carditis), C (chorea), and D (erythema marginatum).
So, the correct answer is option (3).
