Himalayan nettle sustainable resource

Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia) has gained attention as a sustainable source of textile fibre due to its strong and durable fibres that can be processed into fabric. The plant grows naturally in the Himalayan region and provides an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibres. Unlike anti-malarial drugs which come from other plants like artemisia, biodiesel which requires oil-rich seeds, or paper pulp which requires wood, the nettle plant's fibre properties make it particularly suitable for textile applications. This sustainable resource has economic potential for local communities in Himalayan regions. > Himalayan nettle: textile fibre source; sustainable, eco-friendly alternative. Answer: (d).
