Solution

The correct option is C Gossypium herbaceum
Gossypium herbaceum is a species of cotton native to the semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Arabia where it still grows in the wild as a perennial shrub. Cotton is usually used as a textile while making clothing and can be made into yarns and sheets of fabric. They can also be used in manufacture of paper. Thus, option C is correct.
