    D.

    (B) and (D)

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is A and C.

    ·       A pashmina shawl is very thin yet very warm.

    ·       The goats from which the soft pashmina wool is collected, are found on very high altitudes of 5000 metres.

    ·       In winter, the temperature here drops below 0° C (–40°C).

    ·       A coat of warm hair grows on the goat’s body which protects it from extreme cold.

    ·       The goats shed some of their hair(fur) in summer.

    ·       This hair is so fine that six of these would be as thick as one hair.

    ·       The fine hair cannot be woven on machines and so weavers of Kashmir make these shawls by hand.

    ·       This is a long and difficult process.

    ·       After almost 250 hours of weaving, one plain pashmina shawl is made.

    ·       The Changpa tribe, of Ladakh, is known for making pashmina shawls.

    ·       It is believed that a pashmina shawl is as warm as six sweaters.

    ·

    (A) They are very warm: Correct

    (B) They are made by fur of sheep: Incorrect

    (C) They are woven by hand: Correct

    (D) These sheep shed their hair in winter: Incorrect
