a hairline fracture
b closed fracture

Explanation:

• A hairline fracture is a thin crack in the bone, not about separation.
• A closed fracture is when the bone breaks but there is no open wound (not related to separation).
• A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces (not about non - separation).
• An impaction fracture is when one bone fragment is driven into another, so the two bone sections do not separate.
• An open fracture is when the bone breaks and pierces the skin (not about separation).
