Terminal differentiation refers to the process where a cell becomes more specialized and stops dividing. Among the cell types listed in your question, the correct answer is:
**heart cells**
Heart cells (cardiomyocytes) undergo terminal differentiation, meaning they specialize and do not typically divide anymore. On the other hand, hair and epithelial cells can still undergo division, and stem cells remain undifferentiated and capable of becoming various cell types.
