Answer 1

The correct option is B Step 1 - Ginning

Step 2 - Spinning
Step 3 - Weaving/Knitting
$\bullet$ The first step of processing cotton fibre is ginning wherein the cotton fibres are separated from the cotton seeds.
$\bullet$ The second step of processing of cotton fibre is spinning. In this process, fibres from a mass of cotton fibres are drawn and twisted to form cotton yarns.
$\bullet$ The third step and final step involved in processing of cotton fibre to make fabric out of yarns.Weaving and knitting are the two process which can be used to make fabric from yarn.
$\bullet$ Weaving is a process of arranging two sets of yarns together to make a fabric whereas knitting is a process in which single yarn gets pulled out continously to form a farbric.
