Prolonged exercise results in a significant increase in body core temperature. Calculate the increase in body core temperature during exercise given the following:Total energy expenditure during exercise = 600 KcalExercise efficiency = 20%Total heat stored during exercise = 192 KcalSubject body weight = 60 KgAmount of heat required to increase body temperature by 1°C = 0.83 kcal/kgTherefore, the total increase in body temperature following exercise would be

A. 3.86°C
B. 1.86°C
C. 4.86°C
D. 2.86°C
