Solution
The correct option is A Barks and leaves of trees
In prehistoric times, man did not wear clothes.
Later, he began using the barks and leaves of trees as clothes.
After that, he began to hunt and realised that he can use the skins of the animals he had killed.
Later, when he learnt to make yarn from materials like cotton and wool, he began to make cloth from these materials and use these in a variety of ways.
