The correct answer is C. Unintentional-Preventable

Step-by-step explanation:

An injury includes cuts, wounds or any other physical trauma or damage that is usually caused by accidents although in some cases it can be caused on purpose. In this way, injuries can be classified as unintentional or intentional depending on whether they were the result of accidents or not and as preventable or unpreventable if it could be prevented or avoided in some way.

According to this, an injuring sustained from driving an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) and not wearing a helmet is both unintentional and preventable, because it is quite likely it occurs due to an accident and not on purpose (unintentional), but also injuries can be prevented using the correct equipment including a helmet, and following parameters while driving (preventable).
