hairline fracture
B

C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The inflammatory phase, also called fracture hematoma formation, is the first stage of healing that occurs immediately after the injury. According to one study, approximately 48 hours after the injury, blood vessels torn by the fracture release blood. This blood starts to clot and forms a fracture hematoma.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the fracture, cortical bone, periosteal tissue, and surrounding soft tissues are ruptured, destroying the blood vessels and consequently causing tissue bleeding.
