Zinc oxide eugenol is a good temporary restoration because it:

Has aesthetic appeal
Provides a good seal
Is easy to remove
Strengthens the tooth structure

The correct answer is: Provides a good seal

Zinc oxide eugenol is a commonly used restorative material that is suitable for temporary restorations. It is primarily chosen because it provides a good seal, preventing bacteria and saliva from entering the tooth and causing further damage. A) Aesthetic appeal is not a major factor in choosing this material since it is temporary and will be replaced. C) While it is possible to remove zinc oxide eugenol easily, this is not the main reason it is used for temporary restorations. D) This material does not have any structural strengthening properties, so it is not used for this purpose.
