Answer 1

The correct option is A

Cotton

Explanation for correct option:

A. Cotton

• Cotton is obtained from natural resources i.e. plants.
• “The fibers of some fabrics such as cotton, jute, silk, and wool are obtained from plants and animals. These are called natural fibers.”

Properties of cotton fabric:

• Cotton is biodegradable.
• They are absorbent, they have the ability to absorb moisture.
• It is more durable and resistible than other fabrics.
• It is advisable to wear cotton in summers as they absorb sweat easily and also they are good for the skin.

Explanation for incorrect options:

• Summertime clothing should not contain synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon since they are not breathable.
• Although these materials are light, they cannot cause you to develop sweat stains and do not at all absorb sweat. Polyester is water resistant.

Hence, the correct option is A i.e. Cotton.
