it a stretch and a tear

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. a sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament.
When your ligament is sprained, it means that it is either torn or just stretched a bit so that it is causing you pain and discomfort. Swelling of that particular area may occur, although your muscles and bones are not affected by this sprain.
