What is a carbuncle?

A severe form of rosacea
A chronic inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands
A group of boils characterized by acute bacterial infection
Dilated capillaries at the surface of the skin

The correct answer is: A group of boils characterized by acute bacterial infection

A carbuncle is a skin condition that is characterized by a grouping of boils, or infected hair follicles, typically caused by bacteria. This differs from the other options because it specifically mentions a bacterial infection and boils, which are not mentioned in the other options. A is incorrect because rosacea is a different skin condition that does not involve boils. B is incorrect because it only mentions a chronic inflammatory disorder and does not specify the presence of boils. D is incorrect because it only mentions dilated capillaries and does not address the presence of infected hair follicles.
