Abrasion = A scraped area on the skin or on a mucous membrane, resulting from injury or irritation.
Avulsion: Tearing away. A nerve can be avulsed by an injury, as can part of a bone.
Puncture wound: An injury caused by a pointed object that pierces or penetrates the skin.
Bruise: A bruise or "contusion" is an traumatic injury of the soft tissues which results in breakage of the local capillaries and leakage of red blood cells. In the skin it can be seen as a reddish-purple discoloration that does not blanch when pressed upon. When a bruise fades it becomes green and brown as the body metabolizes the blood cells in the skin.
Technically, the answer to your question is D: bruise. The injury occurs under the skin without actually breaking it.
