Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main treatment (first aid) for all sprains and strains is RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Home remedies may include over-the-counter pain relievers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The recommended treatment for a strain is the same as for a sprain: rest, ice, compression and elevation. This should be followed by simple exercises to relieve pain and restore mobility. Surgery may be required for a more severe tear.

Detailed explanation-3: -A strain is sometimes called a “pulled muscle.” Depending on the level of muscle strain, it may heal within a few weeks, but reinjury can happen. A sprain is when ligaments (bands of tissue that hold bone to bone at the joints) stretch too far or tear. A sprain can take 4–6 weeks to heal or sometimes longer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rest. Avoid activities that cause pain, swelling or discomfort. Ice. Even if you’re seeking medical help, ice the area immediately. Compression. To help stop swelling, compress the area with an elastic bandage until the swelling stops. Elevation. 27-Oct-2022
