The correct match is compound fracture: the fractured bone ends penetrate the skin. Letter A

Explanation:

A compound fracture, also known as open fracture, is a fracture in which there is an open wound or break in the skin near the site of the broken bone. Most often, this wound is caused by a fragment of bone breaking through the skin at the moment of the injury.
