MEDALS GIVEN!!!!!!!

Answer 1

A!
(Rare chance its D. Trick question, since the worms were fed the leaves, not the fruit)

SILK WORMS were fed mulberry LEAVES until they were fat, they then spin cocoons which are steamed to kill the growing moth inside. After that they
rinse the cocoons in hot water to loosen the threads of the cocoon before unwinding them.

I'm sure your just confused about between A and D since you're (supposed to be) asking for help not plain out cheating. Unless it's a summary question (like what started the space race) it's likely specifically told in the lesson. So next time trust your gut, if a word is changed (like fruit instead of leaves) it's just to see if you actually read it.

Let me know if it was right or not. If not then I'm sorry I wasted your time and your teacher's a Nixon.
