Answer
Correct answer: c) Wet Gangrene
When putrefactive (saprophytic) bacteria superimpose on necrosed/gangrenous tissue, their action causes liquefactive changes and a foul odour, producing wet gangrene — in contrast to dry gangrene, which is essentially coagulative necrosis without significant bacterial superinfection.
