Ans: D
Feedback:
Chronic inflammation requires lymphocytes and macrophages to remain in large numbers for the high use of immune cells. Chronic inflammation is associated with fibroblast proliferation instead of exudations. A "shift to the left" is characteristic of acute inflammation with a high neutrophil count. Inflammation, with continued cell injury, is a source of metabolic and respiratory (if the lungs are the site of inflammation) acidosis.
