Final answer:
An inclusion in gemology refers to internal imperfections within a gemstone, and of the listed options, only a 'Nick' qualifies as an inclusion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to the classification of imperfections found within gemstones. An inclusion is an internal characteristic of a stone
Of the given options, A. Nick, B. Chip, C. Scratch, and D. Rough girdle, the answer is A. Nick. A nick is a small notch or chip found within the stone, which qualifies as an inclusion. Options B (Chip) and C (Scratch) refer to damage typically on the surface of the gemstone, while D (Rough girdle) pertains to the finish quality of the stone's perimeter where it's typically set into jewelry and is not an inclusion.
