Baldness in spots is known as alopecia:

adnata
senilis
areata
prematura

The correct answer is: areata

Alopecia is a general term for hair loss, and alopecia areata specifically refers to hair loss in distinct patches or spots. The other options all refer to types of alopecia that are not characterized by hair loss in specific spots. Adnata generally refers to hair loss on the sides of the head, senilis refers to hair loss associated with aging, and prematura refers to early or premature hair loss. These options may sound plausible but they do not accurately describe alopecia in spots, which is what is being asked in the question. Therefore, they are incorrect options.
