Solution

Anti-pilling Finish - Enhanced Texture

Explanation:

Anti-pilling finish is a chemical or mechanical treatment that stops loose fibres from tangling into ugly fuzzballs, thereby keeping the fabric smooth and maintaining its enhanced texture. All other options are completely wrong because mercerisation increases fibre strength and lustre rather than wrinkle resistance; dyeing only changes the colour without affecting breathability; and a water-repellent finish blocks water penetration, decreasing moisture absorption.
