Final answer:
The braid described, where hair is picked up from the sides and added to strands as they're crossed, is known as a French braid.The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The description provided in the question refers to a braid where hair is picked up from the sides and added to strands as they are crossed over each other.
This type of braid is known as a French braid. Unlike the fishtail braid, which generally involves weaving together smaller sections of hair to create a herringbone-patterned braid, the French braid involves adding hair to three main sections as you braid down the head.
The Dutch braid is similar to the French braid, but differs in that the strands are crossed under each other rather than over, giving the braid a raised appearance.
Lastly, a three-strand braid does not involve adding hair from the sides as you plait; it is a simple braid consisting of three pre-sectioned strands of hair.The correct option is C.
