What is the collection of blood under the skin called?

Tissue contusion
Tissue laceration
Epidermal abrasion
Muscle strain

The correct answer is: Tissue contusion

A tissue contusion refers to the collection of blood under the skin as a result of trauma or injury. A laceration is a cut or tear in the skin, which may also result in bleeding under the skin. An epidermal abrasion is a superficial injury to the top layer of skin, which does not involve bleeding under the skin. A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle, which does not typically result in bleeding under the skin. Therefore, A is the most appropriate term for the collection of blood under the skin.
