Solution

The correct option is (c).

Explanation

The production of textiles follows a specific hierarchical order involving the transformation of raw material into a finished product. This process generally moves from the smallest unit (fibre) to an intermediate strand (yarn) and finally to the finished material (fabric).

Statement 1 is Incorrect: In the standard textile manufacturing process, fabric is not made directly from raw fibres. Instead, fibres are first processed and twisted together to form yarn. The yarn is then woven or knitted to create fabric. While non-woven fabrics (like felt) exist, the general definition of fabric in this context relies on the conversion of yarn.

Statement 2 is Correct: Yarn is a continuous strand composed of fibres that have been twisted or grouped together. The process of making yarn from fibres is known as spinning.

Statement 3 is Correct: Fibres are the fundamental, hair-like strands that serve as the basic raw material for all textiles. Since yarn is made from fibres and fabric is made from yarn, the fibre is the fundamental unit of the fabric.

Key Takeaway: The standard sequence of fabric production is: Fibre (Raw Material) → Spinning → Yarn → Weaving/Knitting → Fabric.
