Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lymphangitis, characterized by "streaking" of red lines extending from the site of infection, is frequently seen in cellulitis. Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that affects the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The red streaking in lymphangitis indicates an infection and inflammation of the lymphatic vessels, which are responsible for removing waste and fluids from the tissues. In cellulitis, bacteria enter the skin through a crack or break, leading to infection, inflammation, and the characteristic presentation of lymphangitis. This condition requires prompt medical attention and treatment with antibiotics to prevent further complications.
