Correct Option: A

The world’s highly prized wool yielding Pashmina breed is the under fur of Kashmiri and Tibetan goats. Pashmina is an almost generic name for accessories made from a type of mohair that is obtained from a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayan Range Belt of Asia. The name comes from Pashmineh, made from Persian pashm (= “wool”). The special goat’s fleece has been used for thousands of years to make high-quality shawls that also bear the same name.
