Explanation:

Question 15

Seborrhea is a skin condition characterized by excessive secretion of sebum (oil) from the sebaceous glands. "Hormonal acne" is related to hormonal changes causing acne, "pale wheals" are related to allergic reactions or hives, and "pockets of fluid" refer to things like blisters or cysts. So the correct option is the one about excessive oil flow.

Gangrene is the term for tissue death, often due to lack of blood supply or infection, and its etymology relates to "eating" (from Greek roots meaning to gnaw or eat, referring to the way the tissue is destroyed). Laceration is a tear, furuncle is a boil, and tinea pedis is athlete's foot (a fungal infection). So the correct term is gangrene.

Answer:

B. excessive flow of oil (assuming the options are labeled as A: hormonal acne, B: excessive flow of oil, C: pale wheals, D: pockets of fluid)
