What does the follicle contain?

  1. Hair shaft

  2. Hair root

  3. Hair end

  4. Hair cuticle

The correct answer is: Hair root

The follicle contains the hair root, which is where the hair is anchored and receives its nourishment. Option A is incorrect because the hair shaft is the visible part of the hair that extends from the follicle. Option C is incorrect because hair does not have an "end" as it continues to grow and eventually falls out. Option D is incorrect because the hair cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair shaft, not the follicle.
