    Solution

    “Dehydration” and “heatstroke” are common heat-related conditions — they logically fit the start of the sentence.
    “Exacerbated chronic illnesses” means existing health problems have worsened, which fits the context.
    “Pushing the health system to its limits” correctly conveys that extreme heat is putting pressure on healthcare.
    Hence, swapping A-C and B-D gives us a grammatically and contextually correct sentence.

    " From dehydration and heatstroke to exacerbated chronic illnesses, extreme heat is pushing the health system to its limits ."
