Explanation
Answer: A - The two main types of broken bones (fractures) are open and closed. An open fracture is one where there is an opening in the skin at the fracture site. This sometimes results in the bone sticking out of the skin. A closed fracture is one in which there is no opening through the skin. These were formally known as simple and complex.
