AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Abrasion. An abrasion is a type of wound that is generally associated with a scraping away of the skin, and can be very painful. Abrasions occur when the skin rubs against a rough surface, causing the outer layer of skin to be scraped off. This type of wound is distinct from other types, such as: A) Incision - a clean, straight cut in the skin C) Contusion - a bruise caused by blunt trauma D) Laceration - a jagged, irregular tear in the skin The key distinguishing feature of an abrasion is the scraping or rubbing away of the skin, which makes it the correct answer for the type of wound described in the question.
