Solution

The correct option is D
The processing of wool includes steps like shearing, scouring, sorting, bleaching, dyeing, combing, spinning and weaving or knitting.

Shearing is the removal of fleece of sheep using machines called shears.

Sheared wool is spun into yarns by the process of spinning.

The yarn is converted into woolen fabrics by the process of knitting or weaving.

However, stifling is the process of boiling cocoons in water for killing the silkworm larvae, to obtain silk fibres.
