-

Man-made fibers
-
B.
Natural Fibers
-
C.
Mineral fibers
-
D.
Animal fibers
Correct Answer:
B. Natural Fibers
Explanation:
The correct answer is Natural Fibers.
Natural fibers are materials obtained directly from plants, animals, or geological processes. In this context, wool is a protein fiber derived from sheep, while jute is a vegetable fiber harvested from the stems of the jute plant. Although asbestos is a mineral, it is categorized as a natural mineral fiber because it occurs naturally in the environment as fibrous silicate minerals. These substances differ from synthetic or man-made fibers, which are produced through chemical synthesis. Understanding these classifications is essential in material science to determine the texture, durability, and appropriate use of various textiles and industrial materials.
