Answer:
This a question related to the degree of the adjectives. Adjectives are used to describe, identify, modify or quantify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives have three degrees that compare one thing to another. The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative and superlative. The comparative and superlative degrees are used to compare between two and more than two subjects or objects respectively. In this question, where the noun is 'hair,' the comparison is made between more than two women. This explains that in this case a superlative degree must be used. We always use 'the' before a superlative adjective.
Option A: "the longest" is the superlative degree of long so this is the correct answer
Option B: "As long as" is inappropriate in this as this phrase is used while comparing between two individuals having almost the same description. However, the sentence does not properly fit in the sentence so it is anyways wrong.
Option C: "Longer" is used in case of comparative degree. With that, the phrase does not fit properly.
Option D: "Long" does not give any kind of comparison with "all the women" stated in the question.
