A Incorrect. The classic symptoms of JRA are not severe joint pain that varies from sharp to burning pain.
B Correct. The classic symptoms of JRA are morning immobility, stiffness, and joint pain.
C Incorrect. The classic symptoms of JRA are not swollen joints that are irregular in shape. These are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, not JRA.
