(i) Mohair wool is obtained from Angora goats.
(ii) Cashmere wool is obtained from cashmere rabbits.
(iii) Anthrax is an occupational disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis.

Answer 1

• Mohair wool is obtained from Angora goats. Hence, statement (i) is true.
• Cashmere wool or pashmina wool is obtained from cashmere goats, not rabbits. Hence, statement (ii) is false.
• Anthrax or sorter's disease is an occupational disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. Wool sorters are prone to get infected by this disease. Hence, statement (iii) is true.
• Therefore, the correct option is (b).
