What type of hair becomes more prominent during puberty?

  1. Vellus

  2. Lanugo

  3. Terminal

  4. Cortical

The correct answer is: Terminal

During puberty, the hair that becomes more prominent is called terminal hair. This type of hair is thicker, darker, and coarser compared to other types of hair. The other options are incorrect as vellus hair is the soft, fine hair that covers most of our body and rarely changes during puberty. Lanugo hair is a type of fine, downy hair usually found in newborn babies, which is typically shed within the first few weeks of life. Lastly, cortical hair refers to the texture and strength of the hair, rather than its growth pattern. Therefore, the correct answer is terminal hair.
