a possible transverse injury of the arm could be:
a deep cut from the posterior elbow to the wrist.

the humerus (upper arm bone) is broken in the middle.
a cut along the side of the entire pinky finger.
clear selection

Explanation:

A transverse injury runs perpendicular to the long axis of a body part. The humerus is a long bone of the upper arm; a break in its middle that is transverse would cross perpendicular to its length. The other options involve injuries along the length (longitudinal) or localized to small areas not matching transverse orientation.

Answer:

C. The humerus (upper arm bone) is broken in the middle.
