Which injury may result in either a bruise to the lung or a bruise to the heart, presenting symptoms such as AMI-like chest pain and arrhythmias?

Decreased lung sounds on one side; respiratory distress; maybe bubbling chest wound
Relaxed; pressure rises and air is forced out
Either bruise to lung; or bruise to heart; AMI like chest pain, arrhythmias and disturbances
Blood in chest; bleeding in pleural space forming a pocket of blood at bases of lung; decreased lung expansion

The correct answer is: Either bruise to lung; or bruise to heart; AMI like chest pain, arrhythmias and disturbances

Possible Explanation The key words in this question are "bruise to the lung" and "bruise to the heart". Option C is the only choice that mentions both possibilities. Options A and D only mention bruising to the lung, while Option B talks about other general effects on the body. Therefore, Option C is the most appropriate answer.
