Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that nail growth rates vary depending on factors such as location, blood supply, and usage of the finger or toe.
Recognize that fingernails generally grow faster than toenails due to better blood circulation and more frequent use.
Consider the specific nails mentioned in the problem: index finger nail, thumb nail, big toe nail, and middle finger nail.
Note that the big toe nail typically grows the slowest because toenails receive less blood flow and are less frequently used compared to fingernails.
Conclude that the big toe nail is the correct answer based on biological factors affecting nail growth rates.
