Correct answer: D — Terbinafine 1% cream

Terbinafine cream is an appropriate topical antifungal for tinea pedis. This makes terbinafine 1% cream the single best answer in this scenario. The other options would either miss the key safety issue, delay appropriate review, or fail to meet the relevant clinical or professional requirement.
