Solution
The correct option is B Both B and C Wool is used in making garments used in winter because wool is bad conductor of heat; it insulates the body from the surrounding. And the air which is trapped in between the wool fibers; prevents the flow of heat from our body to the cool surrounding. As air is the bad conductor of heat too it also insulates the body with wool.
