What is the name of the fungal infection of the natural nail plate?

Onycholysis
Onychomycosis
Dermatophytosis
Candidiasis

The correct answer is: Onychomycosis

Onycholysis refers to the separation of the natural nail from the nail bed, which is not caused by a fungal infection. Dermatophytosis is a general term for any infection caused by a dermatophyte fungus, but it could refer to skin, hair, or nails, not specifically the natural nail plate. Candidiasis is a yeast infection that can affect various parts of the body, but it is not specific to the natural nail plate. On the other hand, Onychomycosis is a specific term for a fungal infection of the nail plate. This infection is typically caused by dermatophyte fungi and can affect both the fingernails and toenails. Therefore, B is the correct answer for the name of the fungal infection of the natural nail plate.
