The correct answer is option (a) Ladakh
- Pashmina means a beautiful variant of spun cashmere, a strip of animal fur that makes Changthangi goat underwear. The word pashm means "wool" in Persian, but in Kashmir, pashm refers to the unbleached green hair of Changthangi domestic goats.
- In common parlance today, pashmina may refer to the material or to a variety of Kashmir shapes made from it. Both regular cashmere and pashmina come from the same goat, but standard cashmere ranges from 12 to 21 microns in diameter, while pashmina refers to those fibers ranging from 12 to 16 microns.
