The correct answer is: Canerows

Cornrows are a traditional African hairstyle where the hair is braided very close to the scalp in a series of rows. The term "canerows" derives from the word "cane," as the braids resemble the rows of a sugarcane field. Option A, French rows, refers to a different braiding technique with larger sections of hair. Option C, Basic rows, is not a commonly used term for cornrows. Option D, Straight rows, does not accurately describe the texture or style of cornrows.
