Model Answer

(B) Highly decentralised

While spinning is centralised in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, weaving is highly decentralised to provide scope for incorporating traditional skills and designs.

Explanation

The answer is directly stated in the source passage: "weaving is highly decentralised to provide scope for incorporating traditional skills and designs of weaving in cotton, silk, zari, embroidery, etc." Options C and D are incorrect because the passage clearly states weaving is done by handloom, powerloom, and in mills — not restricted to one method.
