Answer:

d. Incompatibility between the history stated and injury observed

Explanation:

When the parents or the child tell a story about how the injuries on the child happened, but the story is incongruent with the actual injuries, the listeners should become very suspicious and report child abuse to the authorities.

This is because if the story does not coincide with the injuries, either the parents are lying, or the child is telling the lies that he was told by his or her parents.
