ANSWER IS A.

Principles of suturing: 
1) The needle holder should grasp the needle at approximately 1/3 of the distance from the end. 
2)The needle should enter the tissue perpendicular to the surface.
3) The knot should not be placed over the incision line
4) The needle should pass from the free tissue to the fixed tissue
5)The suture should be placed at an equal distance from the incision on both the sides and at an equal depth
