What means to boil?

  1. Arteries

  2. Furuncle

  3. Muscles

  4. Tinea sycosis

The correct answer is: Furuncle

To boil, in the context of this question, refers to a type of skin infection known as a furuncle. A furuncle, commonly referred to as a boil, is a painful bump caused by the inflammation and infection of a hair follicle. This skin condition typically appears as a red, swollen nodule filled with pus, which can be quite tender to the touch. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it is directly related to the concept of "boiling" in the context of skin conditions. The other options listed (arteries, muscles, and Tinea sycosis) do not relate to the process of boiling or to the specific skin condition mentioned in the question.
