a type of pneumonia seen in patients with aids is:
a bronchopneumonia.
b lobar pneumonia.
c walking pneumonia.
d pneumocystis pneumonia.
e pneumomycosis.

Explanation:

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infection that commonly affects immunocompromised individuals, including those with AIDS. Bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, and walking pneumonia have different etiologies and are not specifically associated with AIDS. Pneumomycosis is a general term for fungal pneumonia but not the specific type linked to AIDS as PCP is. So the correct answer is the option related to pneumocystis pneumonia.

Answer:

D. pneumocystis pneumonia.
