Answer:

B. second-degree burn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Second-degree burns are those that compromise the epidermis and partially the dermis. They can be identified by a reddish hair region, swelling, blisters and sometimes even ulcers. Accordingly, we can say that the child mentioned in the question above has a second degree burn.

This type of burn causes a sensation of pain and can leave superficial or even deep scars, depending on the intensity that the skin was burned.
