B. While biliary duct obstruction can occur postoperatively, the significantly elevated amylase and lipase levels, along with the described symptoms, more strongly indicate pancreatitis.
C. Surgical site infection typically presents with localized symptoms rather than systemic symptoms like elevated amylase and lipase.
