c) both permeability and pulmonary edema.

*** A is wrong.. but thanks for your help.
so is it eliminated to one of them (b,c or d)

a) ARDS ( Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome ).

"In ARDS, the injured lung is believed to go through three phases: exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic, but the course of each phase and the overall disease progression is variable. In the exudative phase, damage to the alveolar epithelium and vascular endothelium produces leakage of water, protein, and inflammatory and red blood cells into the interstitium and alveolar lumen."
