Vat dyes are essentially incapable of dyeing:
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
A fiber
B stone
Vat dyes are essentially insoluble in water and incapable of dyeing fibers directly. However, reduction in alkaline liquor produces the water-soluble alkali metal salt of the dye, which, in this leuco form, has an affinity for the textile fiber. Subsequent oxidation reforms the original insoluble dye. The color of denim is due to indigo, the original vat dye.
Hence option A Is correct.
