Which term refers to the thick, coarse hair that forms the beard?

  1. Capilli

  2. Barba

  3. Vellus

  4. Terminal

The correct answer is: Barba

Barba is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the thick, coarse hair that forms a beard. Capilli (A) refers to scalp hair, Vellus (C) refers to short, fine hair like peach fuzz, and Terminal (D) refers to hair that has reached its full length and thickness. These terms are incorrect as they do not specifically refer to beard hair.
