Question

a acetate
b cotton
c linen
d nylon
e wool
and why

Answer 1

e wool

Wool is easily attacked by moths because it contains keratin, which is a protein that moths are attracted to and feed on. Moths lay their eggs on wool garments, and the larvae feed on the wool fibers, causing damage to the fabric. This is why proper storage and maintenance of wool garments is important to prevent moth damage.
