Which option correctly lists both a common calico pattern and a listed use?

• A. Stripes
• B. Dots
• C. Colorful florals, children's wear and curtains
• D. Plaid

Answer: (C)

Calico fabric is traditionally cotton printed with small, colorful floral designs. That floral pattern is what people most strongly associate with calico. At the same time, calico is commonly used for lightweight clothing for children and for home décor like curtains. So the option that lists colorful florals as the pattern and children's wear and curtains as uses correctly pairs the calico pattern with the listed uses. The other options only name patterns (stripes, dots, plaid) without providing a listed use, so they don’t meet the requirement of listing both a calico pattern and a listed use.
