Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Symmetrical joint pain that is relieved with rest. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by symmetrical joint pain, but the pain is not typically relieved with rest.
Choice B rationale:
Symmetrical joint pain. This is a common symptom of RA, as the disease often affects the same joints on both sides of the body.
Choice C rationale:
Bouchard’s nodes in the middle joints. Bouchard’s nodes are more commonly associated with osteoarthritis, not RA123.
Choice D rationale:
Unilateral pain in the weight-bearing joints. RA typically causes symmetrical joint pain, not unilateral.
