Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Filament location.
Cocoons are killed and brushed to find the filament end. This is the first step (B).
Step 2: Reeling.
Silk filaments are unwound from cocoons to create raw silk. This is the second step (A).
Step 3: Twisting.
Raw silk filaments are twisted to strengthen them for weaving (D).
