C. Organic chemistryExplanation
The correct answer is organic chemistry because under current licensing laws, medi-spas do not exist yet. The skills mentioned in the question, such as basic skin care skills, cosmetic chemistry, and business skills, may be relevant to operating a medi-spa, but organic chemistry is not required as it is not directly related to the operation of a medi-spa.Rate this question:
