Hint: The appearance of chancre and rashes all over the body are generally found in sexually transmitted infections. In syphilis chancres and rashes appear on vagina, anus, penis, and mouth.

Complete answer:
In this question, we have given a clinical condition and the symptoms are chancre and rashes all over the body. So, first we'll learn a little about chancre. Chancres are usually firm, painless and round sores while sometimes these are open and wet. As they mentioned, the chancre and rashes are present all over the body, which generally occurs in STD (sexually transmitted disease). In syphilis, chancre can show up on your vulva, vagina, anus, penis, scrotum, and rarely, your lips or mouth. The sores may also hide deep in your vagina, under your foreskin, inside your rectum, and other places that are hard to see. Syphilis sores are contagious and easily pass the infection to other people during sex. We have four options, in which gonorrhoea is generally asymptomatic, chancre and rashes are not found in AIDS but may be found in some fevers like dengue, but chancre is not found in dengue.

So, the correct option is C. Syphilis.

Additional information: There is no way to cure the rash without treating the root cause. The rash will go away on its own, but syphilis will not without diagnosis and antibiotics. So, the correct option is "Syphilis".

Note:
We can mistake a chancre and rash of syphilis for an ingrown hair, pimple, or harmless bump because they are painless. As the chances and rashes aren’t painful and can live in hidden places and we may not notice them.
