A Correct answer
Explanation

Reactive dyes utilize a chromophore attached to a substituent that is capable of directly reacting with the fibre substrate. The covalent bonds that attach reactive dye to natural fibres make them among the most permanent of dyes.  Reactive dyes are by far the best choice for dyeing cotton and other cellulose fibres at home or in the art studio.
