In what way does terminal hair typically change as people age?

  1. It becomes less pigmented

  2. It grows faster

  3. It becomes softer

  4. It decreases in density

The correct answer is: It becomes less pigmented

As people age, terminal hair (the coarser, thicker hair on the body) tends to become less pigmented (gray or white) due to the natural aging process. This is caused by a decrease in melanin production, the pigment that gives hair its color. Options B and C are incorrect as hair growth rate and texture do not typically change significantly as people age. Option D is incorrect as terminal hair does not necessarily decrease in density, but rather may thin out in certain areas due to hormonal changes or other factors.
