What is the result of burning a human hair wig?

  1. Distinct odor

  2. No smell

  3. Plastic smell

  4. Rubber smell

The correct answer is: Distinct odor

It is common for synthetic wig fibers to give off a distinct odor when burned. This is because synthetic hair is made from petroleum-based products and contains chemicals that can emit a strong smell when heated. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect because they describe possible smells that may come from burning other materials, but not specifically from a human hair wig.
