Answer:

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

<em>     The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>

Whales have pelvic (hip) bones, which are evolutionary remains from when their forefathers walked on land about 40 million years ago. Common belief has long assumed that such bones are merely vestigial, slowly withering away like human tailbones. Thus option C is correct.

<h3>What is the new research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) has to say ?</h3>

New research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) contradicts this belief, discovering that not only do those pelvic bones have a role, but their size and perhaps shape are impacted by sexual selection processes.

Therefore, small, shrunken hip bones of whale are no longer beneficial for survival and are considered vestigial. So, the best option is C among the other options available. Thus option C is correct.
