The technical term for ring worm of the nail is?

Dermatitis
Fungal
Eczema
Psoriasis

The correct answer is: Fungal

The technical term for ring worm of the nail is "fungal". This is because ringworm, also known as tinea unguium, is a common fungal infection that affects the nails and is characterized by thick, discolored, and brittle nails. The other options provided - dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis - are skin conditions caused by different factors such as allergens, genetics, and immune system dysfunction, respectively. These conditions do not typically affect the nails in the same way that fungal infections do, and therefore, they are not the correct technical term for ringworm of the nail.
