Answer:

Answer is B. a fracture or crush injury causes bleeding or swelling in an extremity.

Explanation:

Compartment syndrome is a painful condition in which there is an increased pressure within muscles or one of the body's compartment, resulting in insufficient blood supply or blood flow to tissue around or within the area.

It majorly affects the compartments of the leg or arm, and could be acute or chronic.

An acute compartment syndrome requires a surgical emergency, while the chronic is not a medical emergency.

Some of the symptoms are severe pain, numbness and pale color of the affected area.
