A colored organic compound that is capable of being fixed to a fabric is known as a:
Correct answer: D. Dye
- A. Pigment
- B. Chromogen
- C. Mordant
- D. Dye
Explanation
The correct answer is Dye because dyes are specifically designed to be soluble, allowing them to penetrate the fabric and bond with it to impart color. In contrast, pigments are insoluble and require a binder to attach to fabrics, chromogens may not be suitable for fabric application, and mordants are auxiliary agents that aid in the dyeing process but are not dyes themselves.
