Explanation:

• First - degree burns: Affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Symptoms include redness, pain, and minor swelling. There are no blisters.
• Second - degree burns: Affect both the epidermis and part of the dermis. Blisters are a common sign, along with pain, redness, and swelling.
• Third - degree burns: Affect all layers of the skin and may even damage underlying tissues (such as muscle, bone, etc.). The burned area may appear white, charred, or leathery. There may be little pain (due to nerve damage), and blisters are not a typical feature.

Answer:

B. second - degree burn
