Explanation:

Hair growth occurs through the process of mitosis in hair - follicle cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, allowing for the growth and repair of tissues like hair. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, meiosis is for the production of gametes in sexual reproduction, and regeneration is a more complex process of regrowing lost body parts which is not the main process for normal hair growth.

Answer:

A. The hair will grow back by undergoing mitosis.
