• A. Attachment between bone and muscle is torn.
• B. Attachment between bone and bone is torn.
• C. A bone in his right leg is fractured.
• D. A joint in his right leg is fractured.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Attachment between bone and bone is torn.

Ligaments are bands of fibrous tissues that connect bones to bones at joints. If a ligament is torn, the movements of the muscles and bones of that region are affected.

Attachment between a bone and a muscle is known as a tendon. A fracture is a broken bone.
