Solution

The correct option is B London
London came to know as finishing center for textile industries because, a merchant clothier in England purchased wool from a wool stalper, and carried it to the spinners, the yarn that was taken in subsequent stages of production to weavers, fullers and then to dyers. The finishing was done in London before the export merchant sold the cloth in the international market.
