Which of the following is a manifestation of a soft tissue injury?

A. Swelling and bruising: Rationale: These are hallmark signs of soft tissue injury (e.g., sprains, strains, contusions). They occur due to damage to blood vessels and inflammatory response. B. Numbness and tingling: Rationale: These are more indicative of nerve injury or compartment syndrome rather than a typical soft tissue injury. C. Loss of consciousness: Rationale: This is associated with head trauma or systemic issues, not localized soft tissue injury. D. Shortness of breath: Rationale: This is a respiratory symptom, unrelated to a soft tissue injury.
