Temporary hair loss due to pregnancy is known as:

Alopecia areata
Androgenic alopecia
Postpartum alopecia
Senescent alopecia

The correct answer is: Postpartum alopecia

Temporary hair loss due to pregnancy is known as postpartum alopecia. Alopecia areta and androgenic alopecia are both forms of hair loss that are not directly caused by pregnancy. Senescent alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs as a part of the natural aging process and is not specific to pregnancy. Postpartum alopecia is the temporary thinning or shedding of hair that occurs after giving birth.
