Correct Answer: C

Pericarditis typically presents with a pericardial friction rub, which is a characteristic sound heard on auscultation. Additionally, patients with pericarditis often experience chest pain that worsens with deep inspiration due to inflammation of the pericardial sac. These symptoms are key indicators of pericarditis and help differentiate it from other cardiovascular conditions.
