What should be used to stop bleeding of a minor cut during a manicure?

Alum powder
Warm water
Cold water
Bleach

The correct answer is: Alum powder

Alum powder should be used to stop bleeding of a minor cut during a manicure because it has astringent properties that help constrict the blood vessels and promote blood clotting. Warm water and cold water are not as effective as alum powder in stopping bleeding because they do not contain any substances that aid in blood clotting. Additionally, using bleach on a cut is dangerous and can cause further damage or irritation. It is important to always use safe and appropriate methods for stopping bleeding.
