D Correct answer
Explanation

Pashmina wool, also known as cashmere, is obtained from the undercoat of the Himalayan mountain goat (specifically the Changthangi breed). These goats are found in the high-altitude regions of Ladakh, Nepal, and Tibet. The fine, soft wool is combed from the goat's undercoat during spring molting season. Sheep, deer, and rams are not sources of authentic Pashmina.
