C
Acute fatigue results from repeated episodes of chronic fatigue when there is not enough recovery time between episodes.

Acute fatigue is short-term tiredness after intense activity; chronic fatigue develops from repeated episodes of acute fatigue when there is not enough time to recover between them. Apathy is not the defining cause, and the relationship does not run the other way.
