Answer: (A.) Repair by primary intention

When healing happens with minimal scaring, such as in surgical incisions, it is called healing by primary intention.

Healing by secondary intention describes a scar with imperfection and granulation. The raised border of the uneven scar is called a keloid. Healing by tertiary intention describes an infection at the site of surgical healing.
