Question

multiple-choice question
the part of the hair that projects from the skin or scalp is known as:
the bulb
the cuticle
the wig
the shaft

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "The bulb" is the base of the hair within the follicle, not projecting out.
• "The cuticle" is a layer of the hair shaft, not the entire projecting part.
• "The wig" is an artificial hairpiece, not a natural hair part.
• "The shaft" is the part of the hair that extends above the skin/scalp.

Answer:

D. The shaft
