On the scalp, cornrows are a form of ________.

  1. Cutting

  2. Perming

  3. Braiding

  4. Coloring

The correct answer is: Braiding

Cornrows are a hairstyle that involves braiding the hair closely to the scalp in rows, resembling a cornfield. Unlike cutting, which involves trimming the hair, or perming, which involves chemically altering the hair's texture, braiding is a technique used to style the hair. Coloring refers to the process of changing the hair's color, which is not necessarily involved in creating cornrows. Therefore, the best answer for this question is C, braiding.
