• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Cotton absorbs sweat from the body, exposing it to atmosphere for easy evaporation

We wear cotton clothes during summer as cotton absorbs sweat from the body, exposing to the atmosphere for easy evaporation. As we tend to sweat more during summer and cotton fabric absorbs sweat and help body to cool down. Cotton allows better air circulation which helps to absorb and removing body moisture caused by sweat via evaporation.
