What is a bacterial inflammation of the tissue surrounding the nail called?

  1. Fungal infection

  2. Nail injury

  3. Paronychia

  4. Eczema

The correct answer is: Paronychia

This is because a fungal infection, nail injury, and eczema do not specifically refer to a bacterial inflammation of the tissue surrounding the nail. Fungal infections are caused by a different type of microorganism, nail injuries can refer to a variety of issues, and eczema is a skin condition not necessarily related to bacteria. Paronychia, on the other hand, specifically refers to a bacterial infection of the nail tissue.
