Onychorrexis refers to nails that are?

Thick and discolored
Long and curved
Split and brittle
Short and stubby

The correct answer is: Split and brittle

Onychorrexis refers to split and brittle nails. Option A is incorrect because "thick and discolored" nails are known as onychauxis. Option B is incorrect because "long and curved" nails are known as onychogryphosis. Option D is incorrect because "short and stubby" nails are known as onycholysis. Onychorrexis specifically refers to a condition where the nail splits lengthwise, making it fragile and prone to damage. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
