Answer: (B)

Normal daily hair shedding reflects the natural growth cycle, where hairs move from growth into a resting phase and then shed. In a healthy person, this is a moderate amount—roughly several dozen to around a hundred hairs each day. This middle range best fits what’s typically considered normal across the options. If shedding becomes noticeably higher than this, or you start to see thinning over time, it may warrant a check with a professional.
