Which symptom would most likely NOT be observed during an inflammatory response?

In the context of an inflammatory response, symptoms such as redness, pain, and swelling are characteristic manifestations due to increased blood flow and immune activity in the affected area. Redness results from vasodilation, allowing more blood to reach the site of inflammation. Pain is primarily caused by the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve endings, alerting the body to potential injury or infection. Swelling, or edema, occurs due to fluid accumulation in the tissues, a result of increased vascular permeability and the movement of immune cells.

Algor, on the other hand, refers to a decrease in temperature. While inflammation typically leads to localized increases in temperature (a symptom known as heat), a decrease in temperature is not a typical feature of an inflammatory response. Therefore, algor would most likely not be observed during an inflammatory response, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
