Solution

The correct option is C silkworm
Silk is a natural fibre as it is obtained from caterpillars (larva or silkworms of silk moth of the family, Bombycoidea). Different groups of silk moths are used to produce wild silk, but the silk cultivated from larvae of the mulberry silkworm moth, Bombyx mori, accounts for most commercial production.
