Answer:
The answer is b, because acute inflammation does not typically involve scarring. Acute inflammation is a short-term response to tissue damage, characterized by rapid onset and an exudative response (the production of fluid that may contain proteins, cells, and other substances). It is often caused by irritants that produce necrosis (tissue death), and the predominant cells involved are neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell.
Scarring, on the other hand, is a process that occurs during the repair of tissue damage, and is characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue (scar tissue) to repair and strengthen the damaged area. It is typically a feature of chronic inflammation, which is a longer-term response to tissue damage that may involve scarring.
