answer
a cut parallel to a cleavage line will remain closed.
they promote fibrosis.
a cut at right angles to a line of cleavage will remain closed.
wounds heal more slowly if they run parallel to lines of cleavage.
i dont know yet

Explanation:

Lines of cleavage are aligned with the orientation of collagen fibers in the skin. A cut parallel to these lines disrupts fewer fibers, allowing the wound to remain closed more easily and heal faster. Cuts at right - angles disrupt more fibers and gape open. Fibrosis is not directly related to the significance of cleavage lines in this context, and wounds heal faster when parallel to cleavage lines.

Answer:

A. A cut parallel to a cleavage line will remain closed.
