    A. Both B and C
    Explanation
    Hair braiders may not use penetrating chemical hair treatments and cut or grow human hair. This is because hair braiding is a non-invasive and non-chemical process that involves only braiding and styling the hair. Hair braiders are not trained or licensed to perform chemical treatments or cutting and growing hair. Therefore, both options B and C are correct as they describe activities that hair braiders are not permitted to do.
