What is vellus hair characterized by?

  1. The study of hair

  2. Hair condition

  3. Baby fine hair

  4. Very dark visible hair

The correct answer is: Baby fine hair

Vellus hair is best described as short, fine, and almost invisible hair that covers the majority of our body. This type of hair is commonly found on the face, arms, and back and is often referred to as peach fuzz. It is not dark or visibly noticeable like terminal hair, and it is not a study of hair as described in option A. Additionally, vellus hair is not a hair condition as stated in option B. Therefore, the only accurate description of vellus hair is option C, as this type of hair is characterized by its fine and downy texture.
