Explanation

The passage describes heart attack symptoms including 'sweating, pallor or ____(iv)___ in skin'. Pallor means paleness, so the missing word should be a similar concept. Paleness (D) is the logical parallel to pallor - both describe loss of skin color. Darkness, redness, and whiteness don't fit the medical context.
