What percentage of the skin is composed of water?

  1. 10 to 20%

  2. 30 to 50%

  3. 50 to 70%

  4. 70 to 90%

The correct answer is: 10 to 20%

The correct answer is A. 10 to 20%. The majority of the skin is composed of water, with a range typically falling between 10 to 20%. Water is crucial for maintaining the skin's hydration, elasticity, and overall health. While the other options may seem plausible, they represent higher percentages that do not accurately reflect the typical water composition of the skin.
