    It is the most important process of preparing fibers to accept color.

    • A.) dry cleaning

    • B.) wood hydrolysis

    • C.) mordanting

    • D.) wood saccharification

    Correct Answer
    A. C.) mordanting
    Explanation
    Mordanting is the process of treating fibers with a mordant, which is a substance that helps the fibers accept and retain color. This is important because without mordanting, the color would not adhere properly to the fibers and would wash out easily. Mordanting ensures that the color is more vibrant and long-lasting. Dry cleaning, wood hydrolysis, and wood saccharification are not related to preparing fibers for accepting color, so they are not the correct answer.
