Accepted Answer

An abscess is a localized infection characterized by a collection of pus, which can occur anywhere in the body. It is not a systemic infection, as it is confined to a specific area. It is also not always viral in origin, nor is it a mycotic infection. Therefore, the best choice is D, an example of a localized infection.
