Detailed Solution

The correct answer is (c) Hairy fibres of the sheep.

Explanation

The term fleece refers to the entire woolly coat of a sheep, which is made up of its soft, hairy fibres. This coat is sheared off the animal, typically in a single piece, to be processed into wool.

The other options are incorrect because:

(a) A popular sheep breed: Fleece is a part of a sheep, not a type or breed of sheep (like Merino or Suffolk).
(b) The white colour of the fur: While many sheep have white fleece, it can also be black, brown, or grey. "Fleece" refers to the fibres themselves, not their colour.
(d) All of the above: Since (a) and (b) are incorrect, this option is also incorrect.
