Bombax Ceiba yields natural product
Answer: B
Bombax ceiba yields Indian kapok.
Bombax ceiba, the red silk cotton tree (semal), bears fruits filled with soft, silky floss attached to the seeds. This floss, called Indian kapok or semal cotton, is used to stuff pillows, mattresses and life jackets.
Coir comes from coconut husk, brush fibres from palms such as palmyra, and a strong bast fibre is not semal's product.
Semal is a large deciduous tree with red flowers that appear when the tree is leafless in late winter, and it is common in the forests of Madhya Pradesh.
