What part of the nail is known as the free edge?

Part of the nail plate that extends over the tip of the finger or toe
The base of the nail under the skin
The fold of skin overlapping the sides of the nail
The visible portion of the nail

The correct answer is: Part of the nail plate that extends over the tip of the finger or toe

The free edge refers to the part of the nail plate that extends beyond the tip of the finger or toe. This is why option B, the base of the nail under the skin, and option C, the fold of skin overlapping the sides of the nail, are incorrect. These options are describing parts of the nail that are not the free edge. Option D, the visible portion of the nail, is also incorrect as it does not specifically mention the part of the nail that extends beyond the tip.
