Explanation
Answer: D-The benefits of using depilatory cream as part of skin preparation before a surgical procedure are that the skin at the surgical site remains intact and that in some situations, the patient may apply the cream to themself.

It is easy to apply and in some personal situations, the patient may feel more comfortable applying the cream themself.
