Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
One can contract the infection by walking barefoot in public showers,such as those in the school's gymnasium.Good handwashing does not prevent a person from contracting tinea pedis.Wearing unventilated shoes may actually aggravate the infection by allowing moisture to accumulate in the shoes.Although the infection is highly contagious,the spread of infection can be prevented by wearing special footwear in the shower.
