Which of the following is a common scalp disorder?

  1. Dandruff

  2. Calcification

  3. Keratinization

  4. Hydration

The correct answer is: Dandruff

Dandruff is a common scalp disorder that is caused by the overproduction of skin cells on the scalp. This excess of skin cells causes the scalp to become flaky and itchy. The other options, calcification, keratinization, and hydration, are not common scalp disorders. Calcification is the process of the deposition of calcium salts in tissue, which is not a disorder. Keratinization is the process of skin cells becoming hardened and forming a protective layer, which is also not a disorder. Hydration simply refers to the state of having enough water, which is not a scalp disorder.
