Solution
The correct option is C Merino
Merino wool is fine and soft. Staples are approximate 65–100mm(2.6–3.9in) long. A Saxon Merino produces 3–6kg(6.6–13.2lb) of greasy wool a year, while a good quality Peppin merino ram produces up to 18kg(40lb). Merino wool is generally less than 24micron in diameter.
