Explanation

Choice A rationale:

The remodeling phase is not a type of wound healing, but a stage of wound healing where the wound fully closes and the new tissue slowly gains strength and flexibility.

Choice C rationale:

Primary intention is a type of wound healing where the wound edges are approximated (brought together) and the wound heals by the process of epithelialization.

Choice D rationale:

Secondary intention is a type of wound healing where the wound is left open and heals by granulation, contraction, and epithelialization.
