Which of the following is a natural-fibre use from the list?

• A. Nylon: glass production.
• B. Kevlar: roofing tiles.
• C. Polyester: machinery parts.
• D. Cotton: Clothing, towels, book binding, denim, bedding, canvas.

Answer: (D)

Natural fibres come from natural sources such as plants and animals, unlike synthetic fibres made from chemicals. Cotton is a plant-based fibre with properties like softness, breathability, and good absorbency, which makes it ideal for everyday textiles and related uses. That’s why it’s used for clothing, towels, denim, bedding, and canvas, and even for book binding cloth. The other options involve synthetic fibres—nylon, kevlar, and polyester—that are produced from petrochemicals and are typically used in different applications such as protective gear, advanced composites, or durable textiles, not in the natural-fibre uses listed. So the natural-fibre use from the list is cotton for clothing, towels, book binding, denim, bedding, and canvas.
