• A Saint's triad
• B Charcot triad
• C Beck triad
• D Hutchinson triad ✓

Explanation

Hutchinson triad consists of interstitial keratitis, sensorineural deafness, and Hutchinson teeth (notched, peg-shaped central incisors). It is a late manifestation of congenital syphilis. Charcot triad is for multiple sclerosis (nystagmus, intention tremor, scanning speech). Beck triad is for cardiac tamponade (hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds). Saint's triad is for gallstones, diverticulosis, and hiatal hernia.
