The correct option is D All of the above
Ancient India had a unique place in the fields of weaving, embroidery and knitting.
Weaving is the process of making textiles by interlacing fibre threads. Examples of Indian cotton textiles have been found from 5000 years, ago and the Vedas mention 'hiranya',' or cloth made of gold.
Embroidery has also played a prominent role in Indian society. Vedic literature dates Indian embroidery back to 5000 bc, indicating that the craft is being practised in India since prehistoric times.
Knitting as a means of assembling yams to make fabrics was also practised in ancient India.
