Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A laceration is a tear, cut or deep wound caused by blunt force trauma or a sharp object. It is typically ragged, irregular and has uneven edges. Abrasions are superficial wounds caused by scraping or rubbing off the surface layer of skin, while avulsions involve the tearing away of a portion of skin or tissue. Puncture wounds are caused by a sharp or pointed object penetrating the skin and creating a small, deep wound with clean edges.
