What condition is referred to as ringworm of the nails?

Tinea manus
Tinea pedis
Tinea unguium
Pityriasis steatoides

The correct answer is: Tinea unguium

Ringworm of the nails is also known as onychomycosis, and it is caused by a fungal infection. Out of the given choices, only C, tinea unguium, refers specifically to this condition. Options A and B, tinea manus and tinea pedis, both refer to fungal infections on different parts of the body (hands and feet, respectively). Option D, pityriasis steatoides, is a skin condition that is not caused by a fungal infection. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
