Solution

The correct option is B Gossypium, Hibiscus, Crotalaria
Plant fibres have been used by man for several thousand years. Among the fibre crops of economic importance that are mostly cultivated today, are: cotton (Gossypium spp.) and jute (Corchorus capsularis and C. olitorius). Besides these, the other fibre crops of lesser importance are: Sannhemp (Crotalaria juncea), Mesta (Hibiscus cannabinus), Roselle-hemp (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and Avage(Agave spp.)
So, the correct answer is 'Gossypium, Hibiscus, Crotalaria'
