A section of the left lung was found to have an area of dense red tissue. The area was cone-shaped, stood out distinctly from the healthy tissue, with its base directed to the pleura. The dissected tissue was granular, dark-red. What is the most likely diagnosis?
- A. Primary tuberculous affection
- B. Lung gangrene
- C. Croupous pneumonia
- D. Lung abscess

Hint
