What do depilatories do?

  1. Increase hair growth

  2. Temporarily remove superfluous hair

  3. Permanently remove hair

  4. Color the hair

The correct answer is: Temporarily remove superfluous hair

Depilatories are chemicals that are used to temporarily remove hair from the skin. Option A, increasing hair growth, is incorrect because depilatories actually remove hair rather than promote its growth. Option C, permanently removing hair, is incorrect because depilatories only provide temporary hair removal. Option D, coloring the hair, is incorrect because depilatories are not used to change the color of hair. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as depilatories effectively and temporarily remove excess hair from the skin.
