A one-month old male infant is brought to the clinic by his mother who states that her son has been vomiting forcefully after each meal for the last three days.

A. Rooting, hunger, and irritability. B. An olive-shaped mass in the abdominal area. C. Bile-stained emesis. D. Perianal diaper rash from persistent diarrhea.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An olive-shaped mass in the abdominal area is a hallmark sign of pyloric stenosis, caused by hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle leading to gastric outlet obstruction. Other options like rooting or bile-stained emesis are not specific to this condition.
