The statement in option A is incorrect as ACL injuries are commonly caused by a combination of twisting and bending motions rather than internal rotation.

Option B is also incorrect as women are at a higher risk for ACL injuries under similar circumstances.

Option D is incorrect as the PCL is typically injured by a direct impact to the front of the knee or a fall onto a bent knee rather than hyperextension.
