Peripheral mass, so i go with C adenocarcinoma
small cell & squamous cell is related to smoking cigarette so it is centrally located

E) CORRECT. Most squamous cell carcinomas are located centrally and arise in bronchi, leading to obstruction that can cause a lipid pneumonia. In this case, the breakdown of lung tissue distal to the mass yields an 'endogenous lipid pneumonia
