The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Primary callus formation is the early process that begins after bone fracture, where the initial callus is formed to stabilize the fracture site. This is typically seen when the fracture is treated with plating, where direct bone healing occurs without significant callus formation as in secondary healing.
