This condition occurs when there is separation between the nail plate and the underlying nail bed, usually caused by trauma, infection, or certain medications.

Onycholysis can be painful and may require medical attention to prevent further complications.

  Pincer nail
- D.

Correct Answer
D. Tinea pedis

Explanation
Tinea pedis is the correct answer because it is the medical term for fungal infections of the feet. Plicatured nail refers to a nail that is folded or bent, pyogenic granuloma is a type of skin growth, and pincer nail is a condition where the edges of the nail curve inward. Therefore, tinea pedis is the most appropriate term for fungal infections of the feet.

  Ridges
- B.

Correct Answer
B. Beau lines

Explanation
Beau lines are visible depressions that run along the width of the nail plate. These lines occur when there is a disruption in the growth of the nail due to injury or illness. They can appear as deep grooves or ridges on the nails. Melanonychia, on the other hand, refers to the presence of dark pigmentation or brown/black streaks on the nails, while ridges are raised lines that run vertically or horizontally on the nails. Therefore, the correct answer for visible depressions running along the width of the nail plate is beau lines.

An all-purpose comb is versatile and can be used for various styling and cutting techniques. It is suitable for both barbers and hairstylists as it can be used for different hair types and textures. Unlike a barber comb, which may have specific features for barbering techniques, an all-purpose comb is designed to be used by professionals in any hairdressing or styling situation. Wide tooth combs are typically used for detangling and distributing conditioner, while tint combs are specifically designed for applying hair color. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is all purpose.

This technique is often used to thin out thick hair or add texture to straight hair. By slicing through the hair, the stylist can create different lengths and angles, giving the hair more movement and reducing the weight.
