Answer: A) Telogen

Explanation: Hair undergoes two main life stages: the anagen and telogen phases. The anagen phase is the active growth phase, while the telogen phase is a dormant phase, during which growth ceases. The telogen phase produces the majority of the evidentiary material since most hairs found at a crime scene are naturally shed.
