Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

• Laceration: Characterized by inverted margins due to the inward force of a bullet’s entry.
• Exit wound: Caused by blunt force, leading to irregular, torn skin edges.
• Incision: Created by a sharp object, producing clean and straight wound edges.
• Entry wound: Exhibits everted margins due to outward pressure as a bullet exits the body.
