Correct answer

Adequate ventilation and follow chemical-safety practices

A The product is used faster
B No gloves are worn
C Adequate ventilation and follow chemical-safety practices
D The window stays shut

Why this is the answer

Noticeable odors or fumes from nail enhancement products, monomers, or removers are a reminder to ensure adequate ventilation and to follow chemical-safety practices (per the product label and Safety Data Sheet), because inhaling these vapors over time can be irritating or harmful. Good ventilation, appropriate work practices, and not overexposing oneself protect the cosmetologist's long-term health. Connecting the presence of fumes to the need for ventilation and chemical safety is part of the safety content covered in nail services.
