Solution

The correct option is C Pochampally Ikkat
Pochampally weavers are known to produce unique world famous unique sarees called Ikkat sarees. They have a unique design and color which is quite distinct from other silk sarees. That's why it is the first handloom cloth patented in India.

By patenting this handloom cloth, no other producers of handloom sarees in the world can sell in the name of "Pochampally Ikkat Sarees".Only sarees that are produced in Pochampally and the surrounding villages can be sold with this brand name. Those weavers get more profit as the sarees made by them has a brand name whole over the world. The brand name is because of the patenting these Ikkat sarees.
