Explanation:

Question 16

Collagen is a fibrous protein that provides structure and strength to the skin. Papule is a skin lesion, dermal papillae are structures in the skin, and keratin is a protein in hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin (not the main one for skin's form/strength).

Phenolic disinfectants are known carcinogens. They are not a form of alcohol, not among the safest (due to toxicity/carcinogenicity), and not preferred for pedicure tubs (quats or others are more common).

Ringworm is medically termed Tinea. Candidiasis is a yeast infection, aspergilloma is a fungal growth in lungs, pneumocystosis is a lung infection (fungal).

a. Collagen
