The option that could be classified as a franchise is:

one of several hair salons owned and operated by individuals but licensed and supported by a single entity.

In a franchise model, individual owners operate their businesses under the brand and system of a larger organization, which provides support, training, and resources, while still maintaining ownership of their locations. The hair salons described fit this definition, as they are licensed and supported by a single entity.
