Correct answer: C. Liquefaction

  • A. Caseation
  • B. Coagulation
  • C. Liquefaction
  • D. Fibrinoid

Hydrolytic digestion of dead cells produces liquefaction, so the tissue becomes soft and fluid. This is typical of brain infarction and abscesses, whereas coagulation preserves the basic tissue outline.
