A) Bone remodeling → soft callus formation → hard callus formation → hematoma formation
B) Bone remodeling → hard callus formation → soft callus formation → hematoma formation
C) Hematoma formation → soft callus formation → hard callus formation → bone remodeling
D) Hematoma formation → hard callus formation → soft callus formation → bone remodeling
E) Soft callus formation → hard callus formation → hematoma formation → bone remodeling

The sequence of events in bone fracture healing is first the formation of hematoma (blood clot) at the site of injury, followed by the formation of a soft callus made of fibrous tissue and cartilage, then the formation of a hard callus made of bony tissue, and finally bone remodeling where the bone is reshaped and strengthened. Therefore, the correct sequence of events is hematoma formation → soft callus formation → hard callus formation → bone remodeling. Choice C is the only option that follows this sequence.
