A renal pathologist examining the day's kidney biopsies notes that one

hematoxylin and eosin stained material. Congo red stain of the biopsy
demonstrates apple-green birefringence of these nodules. These nodules
are most likely to be related to which of the following?
A. Acute urinary tract infection
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Sarcoidosis
D. Systemic lupus erythematosus
E. Tuberculosis
