Answer
A
minor bruising
B
loss of consciousness
C
possible skull fracture
D
blood droplets on the knee

Explanation

Loss of consciousness after a fall can signal a serious head injury and requires immediate medical care. A possible skull fracture is also a medical emergency. Minor bruising or a few blood droplets on the knee, by themselves, do not indicate the same level of urgency.
