Which of the following items is/are associated with the mulberry plant ?
1. Silk
2. Cocoon
3. Pashmina
4. Hemp
Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The mulberry plant (Morus spp.) is the primary food source for the silkworm Bombyx mori. In the process of sericulture, these silkworms feed on mulberry leaves and eventually spin a cocoon made of silk fibers. Therefore, both Silk and Cocoon are directly associated with the mulberry plant.

• Pashmina is a fine wool obtained from the undercoat of the Changthangi goat, native to the high-altitude regions of Ladakh and Tibet.
• Hemp is a distinct plant fiber derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, used in textiles and industrial applications.

Since Pashmina and Hemp are derived from animals and different plant species respectively, they are not associated with the mulberry plant. Thus, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
