Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] The world’s highly priced wool yielding Pashmina breed is the fur of Kashmiri and Tibetan goats.
Pashmina is an almost generic name for accessories made from a type of mohair that is obtained from a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayan Range Belt of Asia.
The name comes from Pashmineh, made from Persian pashm (= “wool”).
The special goat’s fleece has been used for thousands of years to make high-quality shawls that also bear the same name.
