Solution

The correct option is A textiles
Bengal indigo was very popular all over the world. Indigo planting became more and more commercially profitable because of the demand for blue dye in Europe which was made from the indigo plant. These dyes were very expensive and only the Roman Emperors and the very wealthy could afford them. In 1810, 95% of indigo imported in Britain was from India.
