Solution

The correct options are
B Jute is the outer covering of coconut.
D Polywool is a mixture of polythene and wool.
Jute is not the covering of coconut but obtained from jute plants. Silk is a natural fibre obtained from silkworms. Terylene is a popular polyester. It can be drawn into very fine fibres that can be woven like any other yarn.
