C. Cyanosis indicates increased amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin caused by heart or lung disease or cold environment.
D. Erythema indicates increased visibility of oxyhemoglobin caused by dilation or increased blood flow that is caused by fever, direct trauma, blushing, or alcohol intake.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
