A
Superficial burn
B

C
Extremity burn

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) First-degree burn. A first-degree burn is a superficial burn that only affects the outer layer of the skin, causing reddening and pain but no blistering. This matches the description provided, where the skin is reddened but there is no other apparent damage. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) "Superficial burn" is not a specific medical term, B) "Minor burn" is a general, non-medical term, and C) "Extremity burn" does not specify the degree of the burn.
