Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. A pustule is a small elevation of the skin that contains pus, typically smaller than 0.5 cm.

B. A macule is a flat, discolored area of skin that is less than 0.5 cm in diameter, so it does not fit the description of elevated lesions larger than 0.5 cm.

C. A papule is an elevated, solid lesion that is less than 0.5 cm in diameter; lesions larger than this would not be classified as papules.
