Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

One of the common issues among adults with age is the itchy and dry skin. The reduction of oil glands that assists in keeping the skin soft is the prime reason for the condition. It is very rare that the itchy and dry skin is a sign of kidney disease, diabetes, or any kind of liver disorder.

2. Application of moisturizers like creams, lotion, or ointments.  

3. Application of humidifier in the room, that is, an apparatus, which supplements moisture to a room.
