Answer 1

The correct option is C Both Assertion [A] and Reason [R] are true and Reason [R] is the correct explanation of Assertion [A]

Humans began using tree barks, leaves, and animal skins as primitive forms of clothing. These were chosen because of their abundance. Over time, people eventually discovered and started using natural fibres like cotton and silk to make clothes. They might have started using unstitched animal skin and then clothes in the later phase.
