Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A systemic infection

A systemic infection would involve symptoms throughout the body (e.g., fever, malaise, elevated heart rate).

B. A localized infection

The signs-redness, warmth, swelling, drainage-are localized to the site of injury, indicating a local infection.

C. A normal response to the injury

While some redness or swelling is expected, greenish drainage is a sign of infection, not normal healing.

D. An allergic reaction

Allergic reactions typically involve itching, hives, or rash-not purulent drainage or warmth.
