Solution

The correct option is C Coir
Fruit fibres are extracted from the fruits of plants. They are light and hairy, and allow the wind to carry the seeds. Coir is extracted from the tissues surrounding the seed of the coconut palm. It is used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, etc.

As for the other fibres, we get sisal fibre from leaves of sisal plant, jute from the stem of jute plant, and flax fibres from the stem of the flax plant.
