Tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand with an inability to make a fist are classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, which involves compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Thoracic outlet syndrome can also cause these symptoms, but typically involves compression of nerves and blood vessels in the shoulder region, and may not always result in an inability to make a fist. Tendonitis involves inflammation of the tendons and may cause pain, but typically does not involve numbness or tingling sensations. Therefore, the correct answer is A, carpal tunnel syndrome.
