Solution

The correct option is B a – Weft, b - Warp
Weaving is the process of converting yarn into fabric.

During weaving, the threads that are stretched from the top of the loom to the bottom are called warp threads.

The horizontal fibres are called weft threads.

The warp threads are held stationary to the loom and the weft threads ae drawn over and under the warp threads.

A shuttle is a holder that carries the weft threads.
