here's my take:
a-meckel's would likely give bloody stool, more likely RLQ pain, and most likely a palpable mass also.
d- wilm's tumor would likely NOT give a fever
And between reflux and sexual abuse, i figure an STD would have a long way to travel to reach the kidneys. So if it was a bladder infection, maybe, but a kidney infection from an STD...kinda pushing it in terms of being the MOST likely from the list.
So i guess B? (it was nbme so don't know the answer)
