What type of hair is coarse and pigmented?

  1. Vellus hair

  2. Lanugo hair

  3. Terminal hair

  4. Fine hair

The correct answer is: Terminal hair

Terminal hair is typically coarse and pigmented, while vellus hair is short and fine. Lanugo hair is a type of very fine and unpigmented hair found on a developing fetus, and fine hair can refer to any type of hair that is thin and delicate. While coarse hair may also be found on the body, terminal hair specifically refers to the thick and pigmented hair that grows on the scalp, underarms, and other areas after puberty. Therefore, the most appropriate answer for this question is terminal hair.
