What is the condition in which the skin around the nail plate splits and tears called?

  1. Dermatitis

  2. Eczema

  3. Agnails or hangnails

  4. Psoriasis

The correct answer is: Agnails or hangnails

Agnails or hangnails refer to the condition where the skin around the nail plate splits and tears. While dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis can all cause skin irritation and inflammation, they do not specifically refer to the splitting and tearing of skin around the nail plate. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
