Answer Severe, radiating abd pain ---A

Step-by-step explanation:

The pancreas is a large gland which is located behind stomach lying next to the small intestine of the human body responsible for the release of digestive enzymes into the small intestine for further digestion of food and also secretion of the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. .

Pancreatitis is a disease in which occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed as the digestive enzymes start working before the pancreas secretes them leading to symptoms of severe , radiating pain in the upper part of the stomach, fever, swollen stomach, nausea and vomiting etc.

so the correct option is A which is the most common symptom present for pancreatitis
