What device removes seeds from cotton?

• A. Cotton gin
• B. Plow
• C. Harrow
• D. Threshing machine

Answer: (A)

Removing seeds from cotton is done by the cotton gin. This device uses rollers and a fine wire or comb mechanism to pull the cotton fibers through while catching and separating the seeds. It’s designed specifically for fiber-seed separation, which is why it’s effective for this task.

Other farm tools serve different jobs: a plow turns and inverts soil, a harrow breaks up clods and smooths the surface, and a threshing machine separates grain from its husk. None of these performs the fiber-seed separation unique to cotton processing, which is why they don’t fit the function described.
