Answer:

Option A) Helps to remove sweat from the body

Step-by-step explanation:

WICKING:-

  • It is the ability to absorb by capillary action.
  • The wicking clothes are usually used during exercises.
  • They claim to absorb most of the sweat and disperse it
  • The more the sweat is dispersed, the quicker it will evaporate into the air.
  • Wicking is important because it does not let the sweat build up, as we tend to sweat a lot during exercise.
  • The evaporation of the sweat from the clothes provide a thermal balance as well as a cooling effect.
