A Correct answer
Explanation

Fingernails grow approximately 3 mm per month, so it takes about 6 months to grow from base (cuticle) to tip. Toenails grow slower (about 1 mm per month) and take 12-18 months. The question asks about fingernails, making 6 months the correct answer. Growth rate varies by age, health, and season.
