Solution

The correct option is B Hair
Hairs are composed of keratinised cells that develop from hair follicles. The coloration of the hair is due to the content and type of melanin that the hair contains. The outermost part of the follicle is the external root sheath. This is a down growth of the epidermis. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
