D. Retrolental fibroplasia results from hyperoxygenation of premature infants. In prema-ture infants, high oxygen concentration results in vaso-obliteration of the terminal arteri-oles, leading to hemorrhage and infarction of the retina. This phenomenon is peculiar to the incompletely vascularized peripheral retina.
