Answer:

A. Dead, flaky skin

Step-by-step explanation:

Dandruff are those silver scales that fall off the scalp and generally stay in the middle of the hair, on clothes, on brushes or combs. and that they are very unpleasant.

It is generally thought that dandruff is a capillary problem, because the physical manifestation of this evil occurs in the hair, but we must say that both the causes and symptoms of this disease occur in the skin that covers the skull : the scalp.

It appears when there is a shortening of the cell renewal process due to the existence of dead skin of the head: when there is an excess of dead cells, pityriasis occurs.
