Answer: d. Confounding

Explanation:

In the context of a scientific study such as this one, a confounding factor is one that has influence on both the exposure and event variable(s), which may lead to over- or underestimation of the direct relationship between them (if any).

For instance: In this example, researchers may have had reason to believe that male gender is associated with both higher risk of obesity (the exposure variable) and adult-onset asthma (the event variable). If gender is not taken into account, one may claim that the finding of an association between obesity and asthma is simply an artifact due to the high proportion of male patients (likely to present with both). <em>Controlling</em> for that variable (such as by matching, as in this example) allows researchers to test for this hypothesis.

Answer: Based on the information provided, It does sound like a ringworm infection, but I never read anything about a ring-shaped rash or any raising on the foot. It more or less sounds like a mixture of both Ringworm, Toe Fungal, and Atropic Dermatitis. In my opinion I would classify it as a Ringworm Infection only if the child had direct contact with his/her feet after making contact with the cat. it's more of a 50/50 on how the child contracted this medical issue because, as I've read, It could be both Ringworm and Atropic Dermatitis. I can't exactly say it's Ringworm though due to nothing being mentioned about a Ring-shaped rash or and swelling/raising of the rash site.
