The correct answer is A) Fibrous plants. Paper is primarily made from cellulose fibers, which are obtained from plants. Fibrous plants, particularly trees (wood pulp) and other plants like bamboo, cotton, and hemp, are rich in these fibers and are the main raw materials for the paper manufacturing industry.
Paper production relies on extracting cellulose fibers from plant sources.
