complete recovery is guaranteed with proper rehabilitation.
it can lead to partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and impaired reflexes.

Explanation:

• For the first option: Severe spinal injuries rarely guarantee complete recovery even with proper rehabilitation, so this is incorrect.
• For the second option: Severe spinal injuries can disrupt nerve function, leading to partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and impaired reflexes, which matches the medical understanding of severe spinal injury consequences.
• For the third option: "Minor coordination issues" are not typical of severe spinal injuries; they usually cause more significant impairments, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It can lead to partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and impaired reflexes.
