How should fragile handicraft products be packed?

Correct answer: With soft and protective material

The direct answer is C: fragile handicrafts should be packed with soft and protective material. Fragile means easily broken, cracked, chipped, or damaged by pressure and shocks. The correct chain is: identify the object as fragile; place cushioning such as suitable soft packing around it; prevent movement inside the package; then close and handle the package carefully. This reduces the force reaching the product during carrying or transport. Option A is wrong because leaving the object open gives it no protection from falling, rubbing, dust, or impact. Option B is wrong because putting a fragile product in water does not protect it and may damage materials, colours, finishes, or joints. Option C is correct because cushioning absorbs shocks and keeps the article stable. Option D is wrong because folding a rigid or delicate object and breaking it destroys the product rather than protecting it. The exact packing material may vary with the craft, but the principle remains protection from shock, pressure, and movement. Memory cue: fragile means “handle with care and cushion everywhere.”
