C
She was exposed to ringworm.
D
She was cut with a rusty knife.

Tetanus bacteria can enter the body through cuts, especially wounds contaminated with dirt or rust. Being cut with a rusty knife is the situation most likely to require a tetanus shot; scar tissue, a hematoma, and ringworm do not typically call for one.
