Calculate the extent of the burns according to the rule of nines and the volume of fluids that should be given within 24 hours according to Parkland formula:

A. burn surface amounts to 27% of the total body surface, the volume can’t be calculated because the body weight is not given.
B. burn surface amounts to 27% of the total body surface, the volume of fluids given within first 24 hours should be 2700 mL.
C. burn surface amounts to 36% of the total body surface, the volume can’t be calculated because the body weight is not given.
D. burn surface amounts to 36% of the total body surface, the volume of fluids given within first 24 hours should be 3600 mL.
