Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The word "taut" means pulled or drawn tightly, which matches the description of a surface like skin. Eschar refers to a scab or dead tissue, intradermal refers to a method of injection, and striae refers to stretch marks, none of which directly relate to the described surface.
