What is edema?

  1. A type of bruise

  2. Swelling due to excess blood

  3. Body tissue that contains excess tissue fluid

  4. Hardening of the veins

The correct answer is: Body tissue that contains excess tissue fluid

Edema is the buildup of excess fluid in body tissues, causing them to swell. This swelling is not due to excess blood, making B incorrect. It is also not a type of bruise, making A incorrect. D is also incorrect because edema is not caused by hardening of the veins, but rather by several other factors such as injury, inflammation, or disease.
