Options:
A .  Upland American
B .  Egyptian
C .  Sea Island
D .  Short staple Indian
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The best cotton for comfort, durability, and silky softness is the cotton with the longest, strongest fibres. Pima, Sea-Island, and Egyptian cotton are all referred to as extra-long-staple cotton (ELS cotton).
They all lead to better cotton comfort than other cotton varieties, yet Egyptian cotton wins the contest for having the longest, strongest fibres. This cotton is used in making thread, raincoats, underwear, and hosiery.
