Which of the following statements best explains why third-degree burns are less painful than second-degree burns?
a. third-degree burns are not as severe as second-degree burns.
b. third-degree burns result in nerve damage, which reduces feeling.
c. blisters are a mechanism of second-degree burns to alleviate pain.
d. second-degree burns result in scarring.

B. Third degree burns are the most severe kind of burns, so often they result in severe nerve damage which reduces feeling and means there is no pain upon touching as the sensation is reduced. This means third degree burns are less painful than second degree burns, even though they are worse.

Explanation:

When more heat or temperature is provided to an object then its molecules will start to vibrate more rapidly.

As a result, the forces of attraction between the molecules will decrease and molecules will move away from each other. This will result in expansion of object.

Thus, when can B is heated at much higher temperature than can C then, can B will expand largely.

Thus, we can conclude that high temperature has caused more expansion.
