Which of the following animals yields wool?

Both options (1) and (2)

The correct answer is option 3. Both options (1) and (2).

Let us explore why both options (1) and (2) are correct:

1. Yak:

Yaks, primarily found in the Himalayan region and parts of Central Asia, provide wool. Yak wool is a coarse and warm fiber, known for its insulation properties. It is commonly used in textiles, including traditional clothing in the regions where yaks are raised.

2. Goat:

Certain breeds of domesticated goats, such as Angora goats and Cashmere goats, are significant sources of wool. The wool obtained from goats is known by specific names depending on the breed:
Angora Wool:  Derived from the Angora goat, this wool is known for its silky and lustrous texture.
Cashmere Wool: Obtained from the Cashmere goat, this wool is highly prized for its softness and warmth.

Both yak and goat wool are natural animal fibers that have been utilized by various cultures for centuries to produce textiles for clothing, accessories, and other products. The fibers are shorn or combed from the animals and then processed to create yarn and fabric. These natural fibers are valued for their warmth, softness, and other desirable properties in the textile industry.
