What type of wound is most susceptible to a tetanus (lockjaw) infection?

Correct Answer: Option D — Puncture

Puncture wounds are most susceptible to tetanus because they create deep, narrow channels that are difficult to clean. This environment is ideal for the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani, which thrives in low-oxygen conditions, potentially leading to severe infection if the wound is not properly treated and the patient's immunization is outdated.
