Answer 1

The correct option is D

the process of taking silk threads from the cocoon.

The correct option is D.

Explanation of correct option

1. The cocoon stage of the silkworm's life cycle is when the larva spins silk threads around itself to ward off predators.
2. Silk reeling is the technique of weaving together several cocoon baves to create a single thread.
3. To do this, filaments from a collection of cooked cocoons are unwound collectively at one end in a warm water bath, and the resulting thread is wound onto a spinning reel.
4. The name has been derived due to the twisting and spiraling motions that the silkworm larva makes as it wraps itself in its cocoon.
5. The hand spinning wheel, the charkha type reeling machine, and the multi ends reeling machine are only a few examples of the various types of silk reeling machines in use.

Final answer: Reeling of silk is the process of taking silk threads from the cocoon.
