What are the indications of a mild to severe allergic reaction requiring treatment?

  1. Minor skin redness

  2. Slight itchiness

  3. Exposure to probable allergen, signs of a moderate to severe allergic reaction

  4. Sunburn-like rash

The correct answer is: Exposure to probable allergen, signs of a moderate to severe allergic reaction

Exposure to a probable allergen and signs of a moderate to severe allergic reaction are indications of a mild to severe allergic reaction requiring treatment. Options A and B only describe minor symptoms that may not require immediate treatment, while option D describes a specific type of rash and may not apply to all types of allergies. Only option C provides a general sign that a more serious reaction is occurring and requires treatment.
