Which skin condition is characterized by red patches covered with white-silver scales and is itchy?

  1. Anabolism

  2. Folliculitis

  3. Psoriasis

  4. Catabolism

The correct answer is: Anabolism

The correct answer is not A, "Anabolism." Anabolism refers to the process of building up complex molecules from simpler ones in living organisms. The correct answer is C, "Psoriasis." Psoriasis is a common skin condition characterized by red patches covered with white-silver scales that can be itchy. It is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells. Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles, not characterized by red patches covered with white-silver scales. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones in living organisms, not a skin condition.
