Answer:

The scalp has the highest percentage of fungal infection. Toenail has the lowest percentage of fungal infection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeast infections are likely to occur in places with high humidity and temperature. The scalp is very susceptible to fungal infections as the hair provides a warm, dark moist environment ideal for fungal growth and development. On the other hand, toenail, besides being a low humidity and stable temperature environment, has the cuticle as protection, which prevents the development of fungal infections.
