Which type of hair develops after puberty?

  1. Lanugo

  2. Vellus

  3. Terminal

  4. Cilia

The correct answer is: Terminal

Terminal hair is defined as the long, coarse and pigmented hair that develops after puberty. Lanugo and vellus hair are both examples of fine and lightly pigmented hair that typically develops on a person's body before puberty. Cilia are very short, thin and hair-like structures that are mainly responsible for trapping debris and dust in the respiratory tract. Therefore, they do not develop after puberty, making option D incorrect.
