Which statement about shedding and hairless varieties is supported by the material?

• A. Hairless varieties shed
• B. Hairless varieties do not shed
• C. All dogs shed equally regardless of coat type
• D. Grooming prevents shedding completely

Answer: (B)

Coat type shapes shedding expectations, and the material presents hairless varieties as not shedding. That makes the statement about hairless varieties not shedding the best fit, since it directly reflects how the material frames these dogs. In grooming practice, this means the focus for hairless breeds shifts from removing stray hairs to skin care—keeping the skin clean, checking for oil buildup or irritation, and protecting from sun exposure. Even with no shedding, the skin still needs regular care. The other ideas don’t fit because shedding varies with coat type, not all dogs shed the same, and grooming cannot completely prevent shedding—though it can reduce loose hair, it can’t stop it entirely.
