Which fabric is a woven cotton fabric with a soft nap created by brushing the surface?

• A. Knit
• B. Polar Fleece
• C. Flannel
• D. Spandex

Answer: (C)

This question tests recognizing fabrics by how they’re made and finished. A woven cotton fabric with a soft nap created by brushing the surface is flannel. The brushing lifts fibers to create that fuzzy, warm surface on a cotton weave. The other options don’t fit: a knit is made by looping, not weaving, so it wouldn’t have a brushed nap on a cotton woven base; polar fleece is typically a knit made from polyester with a brushed surface; spandex is a stretch fiber used to add elasticity in blends, not a cotton woven with a brushed nap. So the description matches flannel.
