When the lymphatic structures are blocked due to tumors, the result is ________.
A. increased pressure in the lymphatics proximal to the blockage
B. shrinkage of tissues distal to the blockage due to inadequate delivery of lymph
C. severe localized edema distal to the blockage
D. abnormally high lymph drainage from the distal region

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. severe localized edema distal to the blockage.
