An oblique fracture would most likely occur in which situation?
(a) jumping from a two story building and landing on your feet.
(b) playing soccer and twisting an ankle.
(c) taking a blow from a baseball bat to the humerus postmortem - if someone stepped on a dry bone.
(d) none of the above.

(A) Jumping from a two story building and landing on your feet.

Explanation:

An oblique fracture is a relatively common fracture in which the bone breaks diagonally. According to my research on different professional medical opinions, these type of fractures usually happen from falling from high altitudes because the bone breaks on impact and gravity continues to push the body down causing it to break diagonally. Therefore based on the this information the answer would be jumping from a two story building and landing on your feet.
