Seizures and altered level of consciousness can be signs of encephalitis, a rare but serious complication of the MMR vaccine. On the other hand, choices C, D, and other options are common mild side effects of the vaccine such as low-grade fever, fussiness, and crying, which are typically self-limiting and not considered serious reactions.
