The correct answer is D) Tearing or stretching of a joint with mild ligament damage.

The choice that best describes a sprain is "Tearing or stretching of a joint with mild ligament damage."

Is simple, a strain is a tearing or stretching of ligaments. For anatomic reasons, the part of your body that suffers the most from sprain is the ankles. Its tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect the bones in the joint tears or stretches with mild ligament damage. Maybe you are practicing your favorite sport and all of a sudden you get hurt and have a pain in your ankle. To reduce pain and swollen, you put ice, compression, and some rest.
