    Answer: D. 6, 2

    Explanation:

    The reason why the fabric plant needs to be built in 6,2 is because it is the only one closet to the other plant. For example if you built a plant in 6, 2 you would be right next to the 7,2 plant. It is on the same y-axis. This would be optimal because the fabric would be delivered quickly and less costly.
