"Reticular" refers to the presence of linear or net-like patterns on imaging studies, which is not necessarily associated with water-based pathology in the lungs. The other choices (B, C, and D) all describe the presence of fluid, cells, or pus within the alveolar sacs, which can be seen in conditions such as pneumonia or pulmonary edema.
