Solution

The correct option is C Silk
Jute fibre is obtained from the stem of jute plant and silk is obtained from the cocoon of silkworm. Since, they are obtained from plants and animals respectively, thus jute and silk are natural fibres.

However, nylon and polyesters are prepared from different chemical substances. Hence, they are synthetic or man-made fibres.
