C. I think, 
Because of the definition of avulsion:  the action of pulling or tearing away.

So a severed fingertip?

toloaf · Answer

Yes because part of the fingertip is severed or torn off. If that makes sense

@nykoreyan how could it be D?

nykoreyan · Answer

because its the whole finger which means in general they would've been more specific if the answer was finger tip but they weren't so its in general a severe bruise
