Question

Wool is obtained from _____ of sheep.
A.Skin
B.Toes
C.Fleece
D.All of the above

Answer 1

Hint:Wool comes from sheep, goat, yak and some other animals. These wool-yielding animals bear hair on their body because hair keeps these animals warm and wool is derived from these hairy fibres.

Complete answer:
The hairy skin of the sheep has two types of fibres that form its fleece:
the coarse beard hair, and
the fine soft under-hair close to the skin.
The wool from one sheep is called a fleece; from many sheep, a clip. The amount of wool that a sheep produces depends upon its breed, genetics, nutrition, and shearing interval. Lambs produce less wool than mature animals. Due to their larger size, rams usually produce more wool than ewes of the same breed or type.
Sheep shearing is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. It is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is removed using hand scissors or a mechanized device. The person who removes the sheep's wool is called a shearer. Typically, each adult sheep is shorn once each year (a sheep may be said to have been "shorn" or "sheared", depending upon dialect).
Hence, we know that Wool is obtained from fleece (hair) of sheep or yak.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
Note:
The fleece of sheep is not the only source of wool, though wool commonly available in the market is sheep wool. Yak wool is common in Tibet and Ladakh and Angora wool is obtained from angora goats. Wool is also obtained from goat hair. The fur (hair) on the body of camels is also used as wool.
