1. Trauma
The other options may be correct but with the info provided the only correct answer is trauma. The other answers would be assumptions.

1 -- Trauma is defined as injury to human tissues and organs resulting from the transfer of energy from the environment. Trauma encompasses a variety of injuries including those from motor vehicle crashes. There is not enough information to determine if the patient was not wearing a seat restraint, if the accident was caused by a drunk driver, or if the patient was not paying attention while driving.
