Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The fibre of terylene is highly crease - resistant, durable and has low moisture content. It is also not damaged by pests like moths and mildew. It is therefore used for the manufacture of wash and wear fabrics. It is also blended with cotton (Terycot) and wool (Terywool) to increase their resistance to wear and tear.
