What are the long hairs of a rabbit's coat called?

  1. Guard Hairs

  2. Outer Hairs

  3. Long Hairs

  4. Shield Hairs

The correct answer is: Guard Hairs

The long hairs of a rabbit's coat are called guard hairs. These hairs are longer and stiffer than the shorter undercoat hairs, and their primary function is to protect the rabbit's skin and insulate them from the cold. The other options listed, such as "outer hairs," "long hairs," and "shield hairs" are either too broad or not commonly used terms to describe the specific type of long hairs on a rabbit's coat. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
