Four of the five answers listed below are events of the inflammatory response. Select the exception.

A) Capillary permeability increases.
B) Histamines are released.
C) Blood vessels dilate.
D) Temperature of the affected area drops.
E) Phagocytes migrate toward the affected area.

During the inflammatory response, the temperature of the affected area typically increases due to increased blood flow and metabolic activity. Therefore, the exception is D, which states that the temperature drops. Choices A, B, C, and E are all events that occur during the inflammatory response. Capillary permeability increases, allowing for the influx of fluids, nutrients, and white blood cells into the affected area. Histamines are released and cause blood vessels to dilate, which increases blood flow to the area. Phagocytes, such as neutrophils and macrophages, migrate towards the affected area to engulf and remove any foreign substances.
