What occurs during the telogen phase of hair growth?

Hair cells are produced rapidly
Hair falls out immediately
The hair remains in the follicle until pushed out by new growth
The hair undergoes a transition phase

The correct answer is: Hair cells are produced rapidly

During the telogen phase of hair growth, hair is resting and no growth occurs. Hair cells are not being produced rapidly as they are in the anagen phase, and the hair does not undergo a transition phase as it does in the catagen phase. Additionally, the hair does not fall out immediately as it may do in the exogen phase, and it remains in the follicle until pushed out by new growth, as it does in the anagen phase. This is why option A, "Hair cells are produced rapidly," is incorrect.
