c. Nosebleed
d. Tennis elbow
 
The answer is C. Epistaxis is the medical term for a nosebleed. While "nosebleed seats” is American slang for distant seating at an event, the term has different meanings in other languages. In Filipino slang, "to have a nosebleed" can refer to anxiety brought on by a stressful situation or having difficulty conversing in English. In Dutch, "pretending to have a nosebleed" is used to describe pretending not to know about something.
