  1. Chest injuries
  2. Neck injuries
  3. Intraabdominal injuries
  4. Hip injuries
Explanation
Answer - C - When in a car crash, a patient often suffers intraabdominal injuries by not wearing shoulder straps while wearing a lap belt. This is due to the victim suffering from a sudden folding of the body at the waist. Beyond intraabdominal injuries, lower-spine injuries are often due to the same reason.
