Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Abdominal distention 2 days post-AAA repair is most likely due to paralytic ileus, a common postoperative complication from bowel manipulation and anesthesia, causing slowed gut motility. Bowel obstruction, peritonitis, or wound dehiscence would present with additional symptoms (e.g., fever, vomiting, or wound disruption).
