Answer:c. the spinal cord is severed and causes massive hemorrhaging.

Explanation:Neurogenic shock is a type of shock caused by disruption of the autonomic pathways in the spinal cord which usually results in low blood pressure, which can occur following a trauma to the spinal cord. It is caused by abnormal or irregular circulation of blood in the body.
