Solution

The correct option is B Avulsion fracture
An avulsion fracture is an injury to the bone in a location where a tendon or ligament attaches to the bone. When an avulsion fracture occurs the tendon or ligament pulls off a piece of the bone and because of that the broken bone remains attached to the ligaments. So, the correct answer is 'Avulsion fracture'.
