What is the resting phase of hair growth called?

  1. Anagen

  2. Catagen

  3. Latent

  4. Telogen

The correct answer is: Anagen

The correct answer is A. Anagen. The resting phase of hair growth is actually referred to as Telogen, not Anagen. Telogen is the final phase of the hair growth cycle, where the hair is in a resting state before it is eventually shed and new hair begins to grow. Catagen is the transitional phase between the growth phase (Anagen) and the resting phase (Telogen). Latent is not a phase of the hair growth cycle, so it is not the correct answer.
