Question:

Which of the following wool-yielding animal is suitable  for making Pashmina shawls? 

Options:

Kashmiri goat 

Angora goat 

Llama 

Alpaca 

Correct Answer:

Kashmiri goat 

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Kashmiri goat.

Out of the listed options, only the Kashmiri goat (also known as the Changthangi goat) is suitable for making Pashmina shawls.

Pashmina wool is the specific type of wool used to make Pashmina shawls. It is known for its exceptional softness, warmth, and lightweight nature.

Pashmina wool comes from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, which is found in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, particularly in India, Nepal, and Pakistan.

The other options:

Angora goat produces Angora wool, known for its long, silky fibers, but it's not used for Pashmina shawls.

Llama and Alpaca are South American camelids with soft wool, but not the specific type used in Pashmina shawls.
