Excessive stretching of a muscle, its fascial sheath or a tendon
B
Injury to ligamentous structures surrounding a joint
C
Injury to a joint
D
Injury to a bone
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
A sprain is an injury to a ligament, the tissue that connects bone to bone and stabilizes a joint. A strain involves overstretching or tearing a muscle or tendon. Therefore, excessive stretching of a muscle, fascial sheath, or tendon describes a strain rather than a sprain.
