Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
When an ordering question mixes a material, a product class, and a specific product, identify the relation at each step: material, products made from it, and a particular product type.
The required order moves from the broad material category to the general product class and then to the specific type.
Application
Cloth is the broad material category.
Garments are finished clothing products commonly made from cloth, so they form the product class in the middle.
Shirts are a specific type of garment, so they come last.
Contrast
Garments, cloth and shirts places the product class before the material category.
Shirts, garments and cloth runs from the specific product type back toward the material category.
Garments, shirts and cloth places the material category after the specific product type.
Cross-check
Read the relationship in reverse: a shirt is a garment, and a garment is commonly made from cloth. Reversing that chain gives cloth, garments, shirts.
Result
The correct sequence is Cloth, garments and shirts.
