Answer:

The correct answer is D. The spilling of the contents of hollow organs in the abdomen causes an intense inflammatory reaction called peritonitis.

Explanation:

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the serous membrane that covers part of the abdominal cavity. Peritonitis can be localized or generalized in the peritoneum and can result from infection (often due to the rupture of a hollow organ, as can occur in abdominal trauma or appendicitis) or from a non-infectious process.

In the case of acute peritonitis patients usually manifest with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, hypotension, tachycardia and thirst. Peritonitis also has to do with the appendix, when it becomes inflamed it bursts, releasing bacteria throughout the body. Peritonitis can cause dehydration in the patient and cause multiple, or multisystemic, organic failure, which leads to death in most cases.
