Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clay-colored stools indicate that no bile is reaching the intestine and suggests obstructive jaundice. Choice A and C are unrelated to the question. Choice D could be present due to cardiovascular disease or as an indirect consequence of portal hypertension with impaired venous return, but there is insufficient information in the question to support this option.
