Question

select the correct spelling of the following term. a fungal infection of a nail. multiple choice onchomycosis onychomycosis onycomycosis

Explanation:

The term for a fungal infection of a nail is "onychomycosis". "Onchomycosis" has an incorrect prefix "onch -" (which is related to tumor or mass, like in "oncology"), and "onycomycosis" is a misspelling. The correct root for nail is "onych -" (e.g., "onycho -" as a combining form in medical terms related to nails).

Answer:

onychomycosis
