What test determines if a wig is made of human hair or synthetic fiber?

Match test
Burn test
Stretch test
Water test

The correct answer is: Match test

A The match test is incorrect because it is typically used to test for real hair fibers in case of suspected animal hair from a different species. B: The burn test is incorrect because it is used to determine the type of synthetic fiber, not to differentiate between human hair and synthetic fiber. C: The stretch test is incorrect because both human hair and synthetic fiber can have varying levels of elasticity. D: The water test is incorrect because while it can be used to test for real hair, it is not specific to human hair and can also be used for animal hair. The match test is the most reliable and accurate test for determining if a wig is made of human hair or synthetic fiber.
