The disease characterized by edema in a child who still has subcutaneous fat is kwashiorkor.

2. Kwashiorkor is a form of severe protein malnutrition characterized by edema, and an enlarged liver with fatty infiltrates. It usually occurs in children after weaning from breast milk.
3. Marasmus is another form of severe malnutrition. It is characterized by energy deficiency, resulting in a shrunken, emaciated appearance, not edema.
4. Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging, not edema.

So, the correct answer is kwashiorkor.
