The question is asking for the accurate statement about head lice. Let's analyze each option:1. "They cause tinea barbae which primarily affects the beard and mustache areas of the face." - This statement is incorrect. Tinea barbae is a fungal infection that affects the beard and mustache areas, not caused by head lice.2. "They cause soabies, which is a highly contagious condition." - This statement is also incorrect. Soabies is not a recognized medical condition, and it seems to be a typographical error.3. "They usually live up to four days without a host." - This statement is not accurate. Head lice can live up to 9 days without a host, but they typically live on a host for about a week.4. "They are transmitted mainly from head-to-head contact with an infected person." - This statement is correct. Head lice are primarily transmitted through direct head-to-head contact with an infected person.Therefore, the accurate statement about head lice is that they are transmitted mainly from head-to-head contact with an infected person.
