A. Type III
B. Type V
C. Type VII
D. Type XI

Correct Answer is A

Comment:

Although there are at least 18 types of collagen described, the main ones of interest to wound repair are types I and III. Type I collagen is the major component of extracellular matrix in skin. Type III, which is also normally present in skin, becomes more prominent and important during the repair process.
