Solution

The correct option is B Coir
Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut and used in products, such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, etc. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. Thus, option B is correct.
Flax are flax seeds.
Hemp is a commonly used term for high-growing varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant and its products, which include fiber, oil, and seed.
Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut used to extract coconut oil.
