Correct Answer
B. Shedding

Explanation
Shedding refers to the natural process of hair loss, where old hair falls out to make room for new hair growth. Hair follicles and their growth are not controlled by shedding because shedding is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and does not affect the ability of hair follicles to produce new hair. Factors such as nutrition, hormones, and the environment can influence hair follicle health and growth, but shedding itself is not a controlling factor.
