As someone who has had their fair share of eye infections, I can confidently say that D. Lacrimal sac is the correct answer. No need to cry over this one!

Eardrum? Now that's just plain wrong. Unless this patient has some very unusual symptoms, I'm going with D. Lacrimal sac.

Haha, fingernail? Really? I think the exam writer needs to brush up on their ophthalmology knowledge.

I thought it was the cornea at first, but then I remembered that corneal inflammation is called keratitis. Lacrimal sac makes the most sense here.

Definitely D. Lacrimal sac. Dacryocystitis is the inflammation of the lacrimal sac, where tears are stored before draining into the nose.
