I'd go with C.  Needles are usually small and sharp, and length doesn't matter at all.  It's the stuff going in that usually bothers me.

Balboa - it doesn't say anywhere that this is an I-V injection. If it were, then your answer would be correct but if it were an intra-muscular injection then the answer is most definitely c - the stretching of the tissue to accommodate the drug. Needle diameter and speed/pressure of injection also play a part in this factor.

i aslo agree with those that voted for c. most people flinch with the initial needle poke, but they really complain about it more as the medicine is infiltrated, and the more volume that you inject, it seems the more uncomfortable they are.
