question 7
what is the common term for a localized collection of pus due to infection?
a wart
b abscess
c pustule
d cyst

Explanation:

A wart is a growth caused by a virus, not a collection of pus. A pustule is a small elevated lesion containing pus, but it is more superficial compared to the general term for a localized collection of pus. A cyst is a closed - lined sac containing fluid or semi - solid material, not necessarily pus from infection. An abscess is a localized collection of pus due to infection.

B. Abscess
