Which of the following fabric wraps require more material per nail but offers the greatest strength?

  1. Fiberglass

  2. Linen

  3. Paper

  4. Silk

The correct answer is: Linen

Fabric wraps provide additional strength to the natural nail by using certain materials to strengthen the nail bed. Out of the four fabric wrap options listed, linen uses the most material per nail, but it also offers the greatest strength compared to the other options. Fiberglass and silk wraps require less material but do not provide as much strength as linen. Paper wraps are the least material-intensive but also offer the least amount of strength compared to the other fabric wraps. Therefore, B (linen) is the best option for adding strength to the natural nail.
