Swelling occurs during inflammation due to an accumulation of squamous cells.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is: The accumulation of white blood cells and additional fluids causes an injured area to swell.

Statement 2 is wrong because squamous cells don't intervene in swelling

Statement 3 is wrong due to the fact that an injured area feels warm because of vasodilation.

Statement 4 is wrong because it is not only in response to viruses
