Which of the following is a characteristic of terminal hair?

Fine and light
Short and sparse
Thick and pigmented
Soft and downy

The correct answer is: Thick and pigmented

Terminal hair is characterized as being thick, long, and pigmented. It is the type of hair found on the scalp, eyebrows, and after puberty, in areas like the armpits and the pubic region. Terminal hair is usually much denser and darker than other hair types, such as vellus hair, which is fine and light. The robustness of terminal hair also differentiates it from the shorter, sparser hair types. Understanding this characteristic helps in recognizing the differences among the various types of hair on the human body and their developmental stages.
