50-100
B
10-20
C
20-100
D
5-10
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. When the body sheds significantly more hairs every day, a person has excessive hair shedding. The medical term for this condition is telogen effluvium.

Detailed explanation-2: -At any given time, about 80-90% of your hair is growing and 10-15% is in a resting phase, where it doesn’t grow or fall out. Every two or three months, the resting hairs shed, and new hairs grow in their place. So you could be losing between 150 and 200 hairs from your head per day.
