The answer is B, D, A. In lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's disease Reed-Sternberg cells are scanty, and the main cell type is the lymphocyte; this is the best prognostic type.

Mixed cellularity Hodgkin's disease is characterized by Reed-Sternberg cells set in a mixed cell background.

In nodular sclerosing HD dense bands of collagen divide the node into nodules which contain lacunar cells.

Prominent fibrous tissue (C) and abundant Reed-Sternberg cells (E) are features of the poor prognosis lymphocyte depleted type.
