Final answer:

The riddle describes a protrusion that can drip when unwell and offers relief when blown; based on the given options and descriptions, the correct answer is A. Nose.

Step-by-step explanation:

The riddle provided hints at a protrusion that can drip when not well and offers relief when blown. Analyzing the options:

  • A Nose is a protrusion on the human body that can experience a drip, such as when a person has a runny nose due to a cold or allergies. Blowing your nose often provides relief.
  • A Faucet is a protrusion from a plumbing fixture that can drip if it has a leak, and turning or 'blowing' it tightly shut can stop the drip, which is satisfying.
  • A Balloon, although a protrusion when inflated, does not typically drip, and blowing one does not typically relieve a physical sensation.
  • A Candle is also a protrusion of sorts, but 'blowing' a candle generally refers to extinguishing the flame rather than providing a form of relief.

Considering the context of each option, the best answer is A. Nose.
