Which term describes the shrinking of terminal hair?

Alopecia universalis
Androgenic alopecia
Postpartum alopecia
Traction alopecia

The correct answer is: Androgenic alopecia

This type of hair loss is known as androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. Alopecia universalis refers to the complete loss of all body hair, not just terminal hair. Postpartum alopecia is temporary hair loss that occurs after giving birth and is unrelated to terminal hair shrinkage. Traction alopecia is caused by frequent pulling or tension on the hair, typically from tight hairstyles, and is also not related to terminal hair shrinkage.
