Solution

The correct option is A ginning
Cotton fibres are obtained from cotton balls. This process is called ginning. These cotton fibres are then drawn out into threads and yarns are made. This process is called spinning. Sets of yarns are arranged together to make a fabric by the process of weaving. The woven fibres are then added colours or pigments by the process of dyeing.
