Solution

The correct option is B Shahtoosh
The Tibetan Chiru or the Tibetan Antelope is an animal found only in Ladakh and some parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The fine hair on its underbelly and chest is used to make woolen shawls. The wool is known as Shahtoosh which translates to “King of Wools”. Due to rampant poaching, India has banned the trade of Shahtoosh.
