The answer is D: frozen section.

Explanation for each option:

A. Culture and sensitivity - This method is used to identify bacteria and determine the most effective antibiotic treatment. It is not typically used for rapid assessment of dermal skin tissue.

B. Fungal screening - This is used to detect fungal infections in the skin, but it is not the fastest method for assessing a tissue sample.

C. Exfoliative cytology - This involves scraping cells from the surface of the skin for examination, but it is not as rapid or comprehensive as a frozen section.

D. Frozen section - This is a quick method where a tissue sample is frozen, cut into thin sections, and examined under a microscope. It is commonly used for rapid assessment during surgical procedures.

Summary: The preferred method for a rapid assessment of a dermal skin tissue sample is a frozen section.
