What part of the nail contains nerves and blood vessels that supply nourishment?

Nail Matrix
Nail Bed
Cuticle
Nail Plate

The correct answer is: Nail Matrix

The questions asks about a specific part of the nail that contains nerves and blood vessels. The nail matrix is the area of the nail where cell growth occurs and it is where the nerves and blood vessels are located. The nail bed is the layer of skin under the nail, but it does not contain nerves and blood vessels. The cuticle is the layer of skin over the base of the nail, and while it protects the nail matrix, it does not contain nerves and blood vessels. The nail plate is the hard, visible part of the nail, but it is not where nerves and blood vessels are located. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
