Solution

The correct option is A Epidermal in origin and made of dead cells
Hair is composed of keratinized threads of cells, which develops from the epidermis. Because it arises from the skin, it is considered an appendage of the skin. It covers the entire body except for the palms, soles, lips, the tip of the penis, inner lips of vulva and nipples. The shaft of hair (visible part) is dead, whereas, the root (invisible) is living part of the hair.
