What is the use of a foot file?

  1. Trim the nails

  2. Polish the toenails

  3. Remove dry skin

  4. Massage the foot

The correct answer is: Remove dry skin

Using a foot file is specifically for removing dry and rough skin on the feet. While you may use other tools to trim and polish your nails, a foot file has a coarse surface designed to gently scrub away calluses and rough patches on the feet. It is not meant for trimming nails or massaging the foot. So, option A and option D are incorrect. Similarly, while buffing the toenails may give them a smoother appearance, a foot file is primarily used for removing dead skin, making option B incorrect.
