• A. Electrotomy
• B. Fulguration
• C. Coagulation
• D. Desiccation

Hint:

In surgical diathermy, the process of coagulation is used to stop bleeding and solidify the tissue using electrical currents.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Electrotomy refers to the cutting of tissue using high-frequency electric current. - Fulguration involves using high-frequency current to burn or destroy tissue, usually for cauterization. - Coagulation is the process of clotting or solidifying the tissue using electric current, which is the correct answer in this case. - Desiccation refers to drying out tissue by applying heat, usually using high-frequency current.
Conclusion: The process described is coagulation.
