What does the dermal papilla contain?

Keratin
Melanin
Blood and nerve supply
Sebum

The correct answer is: Blood and nerve supply

The dermal papilla is responsible for providing blood and nerve supply to the hair follicle, which promotes hair growth. Keratin, while found in hair, is produced by the hair follicle. Melanin is found in the hair shaft, not the dermal papilla. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands, not the dermal papilla. Therefore, the correct answer is C - blood and nerve supply.
