D
cardiogenic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the organs to work poorly. Sepsis may progress to septic shock. This is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs. When the damage is severe, it can lead to death.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common cause of vasodilatory shock is sepsis. Except sepsis, other causes comprise severe acute pancreatitis, post cardiopulmonary bypass vasoplegia and other triggers for a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Low serum calcium values might take a role in vasodilatory shock.

Detailed explanation-3: -Distributive shock, also known as vasodilatory shock, is one of the four broad classifications of disorders that cause inadequate tissue perfusion. Systemic vasodilation leads to decreased blood flow to the brain, heart, and kidneys causing damage to vital organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Septic shock is a serious condition that occurs when a body-wide infection leads to dangerously low blood pressure.
