The correct answer is A. Urticaria (hives) are pruritic wheals that form after mast cells degranulate and trigger localized dermal edema with dilated superficial lymphatic channels. The mast cell degranulation is sometimes, but not always, triggered by IgE-antigen interactions.

Granular complement and IgG deposition at the dermal/epidermal junction (choice B) is a characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Microscopic blisters (choice C) are a characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis.

Munro abscesses (choice D) are a characteristic of psoriasis.


Solar elastosis (choice E) is found in actinic keratoses.
