The correct answer is D

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the 2 main subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are autoimmune disorders of unknown etiology that primarily involve the bowel.

Erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum are the inflammatory cutaneous disorders most commonly associated with IBD. These 2 skin manifestations occur in 3%-12% of patients with IBD.

Ocular manifestations of IBD should be considered in patients presenting with tearing, burning, itching, pain, or vision changes. Eye complications occur in approximately 3% of patients with IBD, and are more frequent in ulcerative colitis than in Crohn's disease. The major eye complications include episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis.
