- A. General chronic venous congestion
- B. General acute venous congestion
- C. Acute anaemia
- D. Chronic anaemia
- E. Arterial hyperaemia
Hint
Link the long history of heart failure to what happens to the blood draining from the organs, and note that the induration in several organs suggests fibrosis from a process lasting years.
