What is a cause of hang nails?

  1. Dry cuticle and carelessness in removing the cuticle

  2. Nutrition deficiency

  3. Frequent exposure to strong chemicals

  4. Tight fitting shoes

The correct answer is: Dry cuticle and carelessness in removing the cuticle

One possible cause of hang nails is a dry cuticle, which is why option A is the correct answer. In addition, carelessness in removing the cuticle, such as cutting or tearing it, can also lead to hang nails. Option B, nutrition deficiency, may contribute to overall nail health but it is not a direct cause of hang nails. Option C, frequent exposure to strong chemicals, can dry out the cuticle and make it more prone to hang nails, but it is not the main cause. Option D, tight fitting shoes, can lead to ingrown toenails but it is not a likely cause of hang nails on the fingers. It is important to properly moisturize and take care of the cuticle to prevent hang nails.
