    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A history of runny nose and itchy eyes is more indicative of an allergic reaction, not glomerulonephritis. B. A viral illness is less likely to cause glomerulonephritis compared to a bacterial infection like strep throat. C. A urinary tract infection is not typically associated with the development of glomerulonephritis. D. Glomerulonephritis often follows a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat, occurring within the last two weeks. This is known as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
