I think d is the right answer. Infection is most often (95%) inapparent, subclinical, or self-resolving pneumonia, depending on the health, lung structure, and immune system of the host AND the dose of the inoculum

I am sorry ...d is the right answer.
The infection caused by the dimorphic fungi Histoplasma capsulatum is called " Fungus Flu".
It is found in soil (dust) enriched with bird or bat feces.The disease predominant in Eastern Great Lakes,OHio,Mississippi and Missouri river beds.It is asymptomatic or acute (but self resolving) pneumonia with flu like symptoms.Very common in summer in the endemic areas:80% of adults are skin test positive in some areas.
