What should primer cover entirely?

The cuticle
The entire hand
Nail plate
Skin around the nail

The correct answer is: Nail plate

Primer is a product that is used before applying nail polish to the nail plate. The nail plate refers to the hard, visible part of the nail that is attached to the nail bed. This part of the nail needs to be completely covered by primer in order for the polish to adhere properly and prevent chipping. The other options, such as the cuticle, skin around the nail, and entire hand, are incorrect because they are not the surface that primer needs to cover for the best nail polish application. The cuticle is the soft tissue near the base of the nail, the skin around the nail is the surrounding skin, and the entire hand is not necessary to be covered by primer for nail polish application. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
