SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Sericulture

The correct answer is Sericulture.

The cocoons are typically boiled or steamed to kill the pupa and soften the sericin (the gum binding the silk filament), making it possible to unwind the single long filament. This filament is then processed into silk thread, which is used to weave silk fabric. Sericulture plays a vital role in the economy of many countries, contributing to rural employment and generating income through the production and sale of raw silk and silk products.
