Answer: B. False
Silk is a type of fabric that was first developed in Ancient China about 8,500 years ago. Although originally reserved for Emperors of China , it spread through trade to many regions of Asia. Because of its texture and lustre, it became a luxury item. It eventually reached as far as the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Europe and North Africa. However, the Emperors of China strove to keep knowledge of silk production secret in order to maintain a Chinese monopoly. Nevertheless, the secrets of the trade eventually reached Korea around 200 BC and India by AD 140.

The answer is B. False, as the ancient Chinese were not eager to share the secrets of silk production and sought to keep it a closely guarded state secret for many years. The art of silk-making spread only gradually through trade and not through a desire to share it with other cultures.
