And hair doesn't doesn't hurt to be cut because there are no nerve to transmit a signal within the hair. But there are nerve ending around the follicle and that is why it hurts when you pull out your, not because it is a question of whether it is alive or dead. It seems you got poor answers because of the fact that none of the choices you gave were really infact correct. Your follicle produces protein, protein doesn't live, nor does it die.
