a fever when it is present and indicate that there is one >> You don't say one fever.
a fever when it is present and indicate that one is present >> Same as A
when a fever is present and indicate that there is one >> thermometers will fail to register fever, not when a fever.
when a fever is present and indicates its presence >> Same as C
the presence of a fever when it is there and indicates its presence >> There?? where?
