Shahtoosh or King of Wool is procured from ……………, an endangered species.

The correct answer is: B. Chiru

Chiru is a wild goat found in the high Himalayas. It is the only animal that produces shahtoosh, a fine, lightweight wool that is considered to be the finest in the world. Shahtoosh is so prized that it is often referred to as the “King of Wool.” However, the harvesting of chiru wool has led to the decline of the chiru population, and it is now considered to be an endangered species.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Kel goat is a domestic goat that is not endangered.
• Hexi is a region in China that is not home to chiru.
• Zhongwei Cashmere is a type of cashmere that is not made from chiru wool.

I hope this helps!
