Solution
The correct option is D Fruits
Cotton fibres are obtained from the fruit of cotton plants. The fruit of a cotton plant is known as cotton bolls.
Cotton plants are usually grown at places having black soil and a warm climate. The fruits of the cotton plant (cotton bolls) are about the size of a lemon. After maturing, the bolls burst open and the seeds covered with cotton fibres can be seen. From these bolls, cotton is usually picked by hand. Fibres are then separated from the seeds by combing. This process is called ginning of cotton.
