The inflammatory/exudative phase of wound healing will last for:

Correct option is B

Explanation of each option:
· (a) 1 year – Incorrect. This is far beyond the normal wound healing timeline.
· (b) 1–4 days – Correct. This is the typical duration of the inflammatory phase.

· (d) 21 days to a month – Corresponds to the maturation/remodeling phase, not inflammation.
