Which of the following conditions is characterized by the inflammation of the skin around the nail?

Onychoptosis
Onychorrhexis
Paronychia
Pterygium

The correct answer is: Paronychia

Paronychia is a condition characterized by inflammation of the skin surrounding the nail. Onychoptosis is the medical term for the loss or shedding of nails and is not related to inflammation. Onychorrhexis is the medical term for brittle nails and does not involve inflammation of the surrounding skin. Pterygium is a growth of tissue on the conjunctiva of the eye and is unrelated to the skin around the nail.
