A
Partially torn tissue with moderate pain and swelling
B
Complete rupture of the ligament and loss of integrity
C
Minor loss of function and minor swelling
D
Micro tears in the ligament and some pain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Grade 2: A Grade 2 injury is slightly more severe. It involves a partial tear of the soft tissue fibres, although the tissue still remains intact. The swelling, tenderness and pain are more pronounced and the healing time can be considerably longer than a Grade 1 injury.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grade 2: These are moderate tears involving 10-90 percent of the structure and will take several weeks to repair. Grade 3: Tears are severe and indicate complete rupture of that muscle or ligament. This may actually be less painful then a grade 2 as the injured structure is no longer being stressed.
