What is the characteristic of Vellus hair?

Thick and pigmented
Soft and unpigmented
Coarse and thick
Downy and thin

The correct answer is: Soft and unpigmented

Vellus hair is a type of hair that is fine, short, and relatively unpigmented. It differs from terminal hair, which is the longer, thicker, and coarser hair that we commonly see on our head and other parts of the body. Vellus hair serves primarily as insulation and can be found all over our bodies, including our face, back, and arms. As for the other options - Option A is incorrect because vellus hair is not typically thick or pigmented. - Option C is incorrect because vellus hair is not coarse, it is actually quite soft. - Option D is incorrect because while vellus hair is thin, it is not downy (meaning fluffy or feathery).
