• A. Transfer, block, roller
• B. Cross dyed, union dyed, polychromatic
• C. Direct, resist, discharge
• D. Batik, automatic screen, transfer

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The question asks to identify the fundamental "styles" of printing. Note that "methods" and "styles" are different in textile science.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• Methods of printing (e.g., Block, Roller, Screen, Transfer) refer to the "how" or the equipment used.

• Styles of printing refer to the "chemical approach" used to create the design.

• The three main styles are:
- Direct Style: Printing color directly onto the fabric.
- Resist Style: Applying a substance (wax/paste) to prevent dye from reaching certain areas (e.g., Batik, Tie-dye).
- Discharge Style: Printing a chemical on a previously dyed fabric to "remove" or bleach the color in specific patterns.

• Option (B) refers to dyeing techniques, not printing. Option (A) and (D) are lists of methods mixed with styles.

Step 3: Final Answer: The correct styles are Direct, Resist, and Discharge.
