Why is an antiseptic applied to tweezed areas during arching?

To promote hair growth
To avoid infection
To soothe the skin
To remove excess oil

The correct answer is: To avoid infection

An antiseptic is applied to tweezed areas during arching to avoid infection. This is because tweezing removes hair by pulling it out from the root, leaving small open wounds in the skin. These open wounds are susceptible to bacteria and can lead to infection if not properly disinfected with an antiseptic. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not contribute to preventing infection. Option D is incorrect because excess oil is not a factor in the necessity of applying an antiseptic.
