What fungus is responsible for dandruff when it grows out of control?

  1. Tinea

  2. Malassezia

  3. Candida

  4. Dermatophyte

The correct answer is: Malassezia

Malassezia is a type of fungus that is found on the scalps of most people. However, when it grows out of control, it can cause dandruff. The other options listed, Tinea, Candida, and Dermatophyte, are also types of fungi, but they are not known to cause dandruff in the same way that Malassezia does. Therefore, they are incorrect answers to this question.
