Correct option is A

Ajrakh is a traditional textile that is mordant and resist block printed on both sides of the fabric. It is known for its intricate geometrical motifs and strong grid patterns, typically in shades of blue and red. Ajrakh printing originates from the regions of Kutch in Gujarat and Sindh in Pakistan, and the process involves the use of natural dyes, including indigo for blue and madder for red. The fabric is printed using wooden blocks, and the resist-dyeing technique allows patterns to appear on both sides of the fabric.
