Explanation:

To answer this question, we must look for the word “steady and stable” and examine the context in which the words have been used. These words have come in the third paragraph. The para says “dimensions of a bolt of silk held steady ...” here by dimension, the author implies measurement. Thus 1 is correct, but it goes out because it is an except question. The idea of supply can also be inferred from the first sentence of the third paragraph of the passage. The values of different textiles were more stable because the textiles would not have deteriorated over time. The Passage tells us that the value of textiles depended on the quality of the textile. So stable value means stable quality. The reliability of transportation is not the question here. It is the cost of the transportation that the passage highlights (second last para). Thus 1 is the best choice.

Hence, option (a) is correct.
