The correct option is C Comminuted fracture
The differebt types of fractures which can be seen in the limbs of a person :-

(a) Simple :- The bone may be broken completely or partially without any other tissue injury.

(b) Compound :- The bone breaks completely. It breaks and comes out, this damages the tissues and results in bleeding.

(c) Comminuted :- When a bone breaks into more than two pieces then this fracture is known as comminuted fracture.

(d) Complicated :- Along with the complete fracture of the bone the tissue of internal organs and blood vessels are damaged.

(e) Impact :- The broken ends of the bones fuse and insert into one other.

(f) Green stick :- The bone bends due to fracture but does not break.

So, the correct answer is "comminuted fracture".
