Onychophagy is?

  1. Bitten nails

  2. Overgrown cuticles

  3. Nail fungus

  4. Brittle nails

The correct answer is: Bitten nails

Onychophagy is the chronic habit of biting nails, particularly the nails of the fingers. This answer is correct as it directly defines Onychophagy. Overgrown cuticles, nail fungus, and brittle nails are incorrect options because they do not accurately define Onychophagy. Overgrown cuticles refer to the skin around the nail, nail fungus is a common fungal infection of the nail, and brittle nails describe nails that break easily. These options do not specifically refer to the habit of biting nails, which is the defining characteristic of Onychophagy.
