Answer 1

Hint: Animal fibres are natural fibres that are sourced from animals. These fibres are generally made up of different kinds of proteins and used to make clothes, bags, accessories etc.

Complete step by step answer:
Alpaca Fibre and Mohair- Alpaca fibres are sourced alpacas, it is warmer than sheep’s wool and is lighter in comparison. Generally it is white but there are other colours such as brown and black. Mohair is a silk yarn fabric or yarn made from the fur of an angora goat. It is very durable and resilient.
Silk and Fur- Silk is natural protein, some forms of which are woven into textiles. The best known silk is made from the cocoons made by the larvae of the silkworm Bombyx mori. Fur is the outer covering of different animals.
Alpaca is as mentioned above, is an example of wool and angora is also a variety of wool that is obtained from angora rabbits.
Hence, it can be seen that all the options are examples of animal fibres.

So the correct answer is D, all of them.

Note:
The alpaca wool is very soft, fine, glossy, and luxurious. The thickness of the fur is between 12-29 micrometres. Angora fur is also very soft and in fact prized for its softness and the thickness of the fibre is between 12-16 micrometres. Mohair can be dyed very well and the colour is exceptional.
