A Correct answer
Explanation

An abscess is a localized collection of pus that forms in tissues, organs, or spaces within the body due to infection. It typically develops as the immune system responds to bacterial infection, sending white blood cells to the site which then accumulate as pus. Lesion refers to any abnormal tissue change, inflammation is the body's response to injury/infection, and oedema is fluid swelling - none specifically mean pus collection.
