Solution

The correct option is C Out growth of the testa
The Gossyppium seed coat is hairy from outside. These seed coat hair serve to protect the seed. The boll of fibre, the lint, is removed from the seed by ginning and the lint is then processed into the cotton fibre.
So, the correct answer is option C.
