Answer:

C. Intracerebral hematoma

Step-by-step explanation:

An intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is usually caused by rupture of tiny arteries within the brain tissue (left). As blood collects, a hematoma or blood clot forms causing increased pressure on the brain. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and tumors can also cause bleeding into brain tissue (right).
