Question 1

Original source text (the original panel preserves all diagram labels, tables and choices):

Bekam, also known as wet cupping or cupping therapy, is a traditional healing
method that uses cups to create suction and pull skin into the cup, which can
help relieve pain and other issues. The cups are usually placed on areas of the
body that are often in pain, such as the back, neck, shoulders, or legs. The cups
can be heated with alcohol, herbs, or paper to create a vacuum that pulls the
skin and muscles in. The skin can become red as a result of doing this treatment.





Why does it leave reddish marks on the skin after undergoing cupping treatment?

A. The arteries narrow so that oxygen is not distributed properly due to suction
pressure.
B. The suction force from the cups breaks open capillaries under the skin.
C. More carbon dioxide accumulates in erythrocytes due to the suction pressure
of the cup.
D. Leukocytes cannot carry out the blood clotting process due to the pressure
from suction.
