The correct answer is A) Third degree burn. A third degree burn is characterized by extensive damage to the skin, including charring, which is the correct description provided in the question. Third degree burns are the most severe type of burn, extending through all layers of the skin and potentially into underlying tissues. The other answer choices are incorrect. A lethal burn (B) is not a recognized medical classification of burns. Second degree burns (C) involve partial thickness skin damage, but do not include charring.
