• A. Pedicuring
• B. Manicuring
• C. Podology

Answer: (A)

Pedicuring describes the cosmetic care of the feet and toenails. It typically includes cleansing, trimming and shaping nails, cuticle care, exfoliation, callus treatment, and often a foot soak, massage, and nail polish. This term is specific to feet, whereas manicuring refers to hands and fingernails, podology is the medical study of foot health, and couture nails isn’t a standard term for foot care.
