Pashmina wool obtained from

A. Camel

B. Cattle

C. Sheep

D. Goat

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Pashmina wool is obtained from Goats.
The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir, pashm referred to the raw unspun wool of domesticated Changthangi goats.
Goats used for pashmina shed their winter coat every spring. One goat sheds approximately 80 - 170 grams of fibre. In the spring (the moulting season), the goats naturally shed their undercoat, which regrows in winter. This undercoat is collected by combing the goat, not by shearing, as in other fine wools.
