C Correct answer
Explanation

High humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, which is the body's primary cooling mechanism. When sweat doesn't evaporate, the body cannot cool effectively, causing discomfort. The body still produces sweat (option D is wrong), but it accumulates on the skin instead of evaporating. Less sweating (option B) would not cause discomfort.
