Answer 2

Answer: (B) Philosamia ricini

Explanation:

Eri silk is also known as Ahimsa silk because the silk obtained from the cocoon is obtained without harming or killing the moth inside it. This silk is cruelty-free and no silkworms are killed in its production.

Eri silk moths have the generic name Philosamia ricini or Samia ricini. This silk got its name from the Assamese word 'era' which means castor in that language. This silk moth is found in the north eastern parts of India and some areas of Japan and China.
