Which are the 4 basic haircuts?

  1. 100*, 200*, 300*, 400*

  2. 180*, 90*, 45*, 0*

  3. 45*, 75*, 105*, 135*

  4. 10*, 20*, 30*, 40*

The correct answer is: 180*, 90*, 45*, 0*

The answer is B because these angles are commonly used in haircutting to achieve different lengths and layers. Option A consists of multiples of 100 which do not correspond to common haircut lengths. Option C consists of random angles that do not pertain to hair cutting. Option D also lists angles that are not commonly used in haircutting.
