Solution
The correct option is A Spinning
Silk reeling is the process by which a number of cocoon are reeled together to produce a single thread. This is achieved by unwinding filaments collectively from a group of cocoons at one end in a warm water bath and winding the resultant thread onto a fast moving reel. After the cocoons have been sorted, they have to be boiled in water, while they are still intact, for 5 minutes while they are being turned gently. They are then taken out of the water and a dissecting needle is used to start picking up the strands. Once a single strand is found that will come off easily, it has to be wound around a pencil. This is how, the cocoon is loosened so that, it can be unwound in 1 continuous thread. The process is called as reeling or spinning. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
