Solution

The correct option is C Hormone
The presence of facial and body hair is normal for women. However, the texture of the hair is usually very fine and light in colour. With hirsutism, hair sprouts in a thick, dark, and coarse male-type pattern and can be seen on a woman'sface. It's caused by excess hormones called androgens.
So, the correct option is C.
