Answer: A break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time.  (Option B)

Explanation:

Stress fracture is described as the curse for athletes. It is basically a small crack that can occur over time due to accumulated trauma usually from overuse something that we look much more commonly in runners or tri athletes. Stress fracture occurs when muscles become fatigue and can’t absorb added shot eventually the tired muscle transfers the overload of stress to the bone .
