Solution

The correct option is C
Silk is delicate

Silk is very valuable because of its shine, smoothness and its ability to take up dyes easily. It is comparatively light and is described as comfortable to wear. But, because it takes a lot of effort to produce, silk is expensive. These properties make it a highly valuable commodity.

Silk is quite delicate compared to other fabrics and also stains quickly. This, however, is not why its value is high.
