Primary intention
Secondary intention
Closure intention
Tertiary intention

Explanation

Answer: A-This type of wound healing would be characterized as primary intention.

This type of wound healing offers the least amount of lost tissue, reduced chanced of infected tissue, and very little drainage from the wound.
