Which of the following is NOT a Type 2 sign?

Explanation:
Type II signs are the neurologic and pulmonary manifestations of decompression illness, reflecting brain/spinal cord or lung involvement. Loss of consciousness is a classic neurologic sign, and coughing points to pulmonary involvement. The skin change described as marbling is a skin/musculoskeletal finding (a Type I sign), which is milder and does not involve the CNS or lungs. Therefore marbling is not a Type II sign. Nausea can occur with decompression illness but isn’t a defining feature of Type II, while the other two options clearly align with Type II symptoms.
