D

Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the classical stages of lobar pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia is a type of bacterial pneumonia that progresses through distinct pathological stages.
Step 2: The first stage is 'Congestion,' which occurs due to the accumulation of fluid and bacteria in the alveoli, leading to inflammation and vascular engorgement.
Step 3: The second stage is 'Red hepatization,' characterized by the presence of red blood cells, fibrin, and neutrophils in the alveoli, giving the lung tissue a liver-like appearance.
Step 4: The third stage is 'Gray hepatization,' where the red blood cells break down, and the lung tissue appears gray due to the accumulation of fibrin and macrophages.
Step 5: The final stage is 'Resolution,' during which the immune system clears the infection, and the lung tissue gradually returns to its normal state.
