Correct Answer is D
Spongiotic dermatitis is seen in cases of contact dermatitis, such as poison ivy exposure. The accumulation of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis causes marked edema, which splays epidermal keratinocytes apart and giving a spongy appearance to intercellular bridges.Grossly,the skin has weepy appearance with frequent blistering.

Urticaria (choice E) is an IgE-driven hypersensitivity process, usually occuring in adults between 20 and 40 years old. Urticaria is characterized by wheals (edematous pruritic plaques), and typically affects the trunk and distal extremities.
Psoriasis (choice C) is a common chronic inflammatory disease causing plaques and scales, typically on elbows, knees, and scalp. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is still unclear; it may be a complement-mediated autoimmune process.
