Answer 9

9.  Choice A is the correct answer.  Frothy red sputum tends to be pulmonary in origin because it mixes with edema.  In addition the pH is normal so this essentially excludes a GI etiology.  Another possibility but not likely is a nosebleed.  Blood from a nosebleed typically is not frothy.
