Ans:
D

Feedback:

Stroke, transient ischemic attacks, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary emboli are all common manifestations of the hypercoagulability associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. Cellulitis, endocarditis, and other infectious processes are less likely to be correlated with antiphospholipid syndrome.
