Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale
A red and beefy tongue is not a symptom of digoxin toxicity. This symptom is more commonly associated with vitamin B12 deficiency or other nutritional deficiencies.
Choice B rationale

Constipation is not a typical symptom of digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity primarily affects the gastrointestinal system with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, rather than causing constipation.
Choice C rationale
Yellow vision, or xanthopsia, is a classic symptom of digoxin toxicity. Digoxin can cause visual disturbances, including seeing halos around lights and a yellow tint to vision, due to its effects on the optic nerve.
Choice D rationale
Gaining weight is not a symptom of digoxin toxicity. Weight gain is more commonly associated with fluid retention in conditions such as heart failure, which digoxin is used to treat.
