The statement that provides the best evidence to rule out Lyme disease or flu is C: Morgan did not have a sore throat, fever, or swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms are typically associated with both diseases, so their absence strengthens the case against these diagnoses. Other statements do not provide definitive evidence to rule out the illnesses.
