What are depilatories?

Bleaching agents
Hair removal chemicals
Skin moisturizers
Tanning solutions

The correct answer is: Bleaching agents

Depilatories are chemicals that remove or reduce unwanted hair by breaking down the hair structure. Option A, "bleaching agents," is incorrect because bleaching agents do not remove hair but rather lighten it. Option C, "skin moisturizers," is incorrect because depilatories may have moisturizing properties, but their primary function is hair removal. Option D, "tanning solutions," is incorrect because tanning solutions are used to darken the skin, not remove hair. Therefore, option B, "hair removal chemicals," is the most accurate answer.
