Answer:

3rd degree burn

Step-by-step explanation:

A first degree burn effects, you guessed it, the first layer of skin, the epidermis.

A second degree all the way down to the dermis, the second layer.

A third degree burn effects all layers of skin down to the tissues below.

A fourth degree burn is a subset of a third degree, but it implies that it goes all the way to the muscle or bone.
