Question

Assertion (A): Wool has a unique property to produce felt fabrics directly from wool fibres.
Reason (R): Wool is hygroscopic in nature and has a standard moisture regain of 13.6-16 percent. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

To distinguish between Assertion-Reason links: Ask "Does X happen *because* of Y?" Wool felts because of its Scales, not just because it absorbs water.
