a) dark medulla
b) sparsely distributed pigment granules
c) flattened cross section
d) hair is curly

Explanation:

Typical Asian hair has a dark medulla. The medulla is the innermost part of the hair shaft. Asian hair is often characterized by its dark color, which is related to the structure and composition of the hair components. Sparse pigment granules would lead to lighter - colored hair (not typical of Asian hair). Flattened cross - section is more related to curly hair (e.g., African - American hair), and curly hair is not the typical texture of Asian hair.

Answer:

a) dark medulla
