b. second - degree burn

Explanation:

First - degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and cause redness and pain but no blisters. Second - degree burns damage the epidermis and part of the dermis. Symptoms include redness, pain, and blisters. Third - degree burns damage all layers of the skin and may even damage underlying tissues. They often do not cause pain (due to nerve damage) and may appear charred or white. Since Lisa has blisters, it is a second - degree burn.

Answer:

B. second - degree burn
