A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In fact, your nails will continue to grow no matter what false nail type you choose. This is one of the reasons why false nails need regular maintenance. While the glue-on nails won’t prevent the nails from growing, they can potentially affect the long-term growth of your nails.

Detailed explanation-2: -While you can’t change the size of your nail beds, the good news is that you can make them appear longer.

Detailed explanation-3: -It extends from the edge of the nail root, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes that produce melanin. As the root grows, the nail streams down along the nail bed and adds material to the underside of the nail to make it thicker.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nails grow by a process of extrusion. As new, growing cells are added at the base of the nail, the older cells are pushed out toward the fingertip (or tip of the toe). The cells meet resistance as they emerge and join the established nail plate, growing flatter and longer.
