Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cephalohematoma is a collection of blood between the skull and its periosteum that occurs due to rupture of blood vessels during birth trauma. It is typically found on one side of the head and does not cross the suture line. In contrast, caput succedaneum is a diffuse swelling that occurs on the newborn's scalp and can cross the suture lines. Nevus flammeus is a vascular birthmark that appears as a pink or red patch on the skin, unrelated to trauma. Erythema toxicum is a benign rash that appears as red spots or patches with a white or yellow papule in the center, also unrelated to trauma.
