A scalp ointment would be the most effective option for correcting dandruff because it is specifically designed for treating scalp issues. This option targets the root cause of dandruff, such as dryness or excess oil production, and can help to provide relief and reduce flaking. Option A, soap, may dry out the scalp and exacerbate dandruff. Option B, bay rum, may provide a pleasant scent but does not have any proven benefits for dandruff. Option D, a hair rinse, may provide temporary relief but does not address the underlying issue of dandruff. In comparison, a scalp ointment is specifically formulated to treat dandruff and can provide longer-lasting results.
