|---|---|---|---|
| A | Milk weed Milk weed | I | Fruit husk Fruit husk |
| B | Hemp Hemp | II | Seed hair Seed hair |
| C | Henequen Henequen | III | Stem Stem |
| D | Coir Coir | IV | Leaf Leaf |
- Match Natural Cellulosic Fibers with Botanical Origin:
- Restored Reference Table:
| List-I (Natural cellulosic fibers) | List-II (Origin) |
| :--- | :--- |
| (A) Milkweed | (II) Seed hair |
| (B) Hemp | (III) Stem |
| (C) Henequen | (IV) Leaf |
| (D) Coir | (I) Fruit husk |
- Fiber Morphological Classification:
- Milkweed (Asclepias): Silky floss fibers attached to seeds inside the pod (Seed hair) $\implies$ (A) $\rightarrow$ (II).
- Hemp (Cannabis sativa): Strong bast fibers extracted from the outer stem / phloem $\implies$ (B) $\rightarrow$ (III).
- Henequen (Agave fourcroydes): Hard structural fibers stripped from fleshy succulent leaves $\implies$ (C) $\rightarrow$ (IV).
- Coir (Cocos nucifera): Coarse lignified fibers stripped from the fibrous fruit husk (mesocarp) $\implies$ (D) $\rightarrow$ (I).
- Conclusion: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) (Option 1).
Correct option: (1) (A) - (IN), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - @),
