Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Second degree burns affect both the epidermis and the dermis layers of the skin, causing blisters to form. First degree burns only affect the epidermis and do not typically cause blisters. Third degree burns are much more severe and can cause damage to deeper tissues, often resulting in charred or white skin. Deep third degree burns can even damage bones and require emergency medical attention.
