The given graph shows the amount of water absorbed by four fabrics W, X, Y and Z of same size when put in four separate beakers containing equal amounts of water. Identify the fabrics and select the incorrect option regarding them.

A

Y could be obtained from an insect whereas Z could be obtained from a mammal.

B

Fibre of fabric W shrinks when burnt and melts into very hot bead that drips dangerously.

C

Fibres of fabric X are obtained without harming the source organism and can be repeatedly obtained from the same organism.

D

Fabric W is made up of synthetic fibres, X is composed of cellulosic fibres whereas Y and Z are made up of protein fibres.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In the given figure, W, X, Yand Z could be plastic, cotton, wool and silk respectively. Wool Yis obtained by shearing the sheep (a mammal), and silk is obtained from the cocoon made by the silkworm(an insect) around itself.
