Answer 1

The correct option is C

silk

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation for the correct option:

1. The silkworm's cocoon is used to make silk.
2. It's a lustrous, silky-smooth fiber with bright colours.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of Gossypium cotton plants in the Malvaceae family of mallows.
2. The fiber is almost entirely made up of cellulose, with minor amounts of waxes, fats, pectin, and water.

Option B:

1. Woolen (Commonwealth English) or woolen (American English) yarn is manufactured from carded wool.
2. Woolen yarn is incredibly soft, light, elastic, and airy. As a result, it's a good insulator and a good knitting yarn.

Option D:

1. Jute fiber is a plant fiber that is well-known for its ability to be spun into strong, coarse threads.
2. Jute fibers are recognized for being soft, lengthy, and lustrous in nature.

Final answer: Silk fabric has a bright colour and sparkle and is very soft to the touch. It can also be obtained from a silkworm's cocoon. As a result, option (C) is right.
