Kim enjoys baking cookies for the holidays. She often makes dozens of cookies with her mother and they both enjoy the time together and, of course, the delicious cookies! One afternoon during their annual cookie bake as Kim talks to her mother about her anatomy and physiology class, the timer went off and her mother distractedly grabbed the cookies from the oven. She quickly dropped them when the hot cookie sheet burned her hand through an unnoticed hole in her oven mitt. "Ouch!" she exclaimed and quickly ran her hand under cool water from the sink. When Kim looked at her mother's hand she noticed several small blisters forming on two fingers. Which type of burn did Kim's mother have?

a. First-degree

b. Second-degree

c. Third-degree
