It usually gives a deeper, longer sound, compared to a hard mallet that produces a sharp and short sound. It also depends on the density of yarn and how tightly is is wrapped around the core, and also what the core is made of. A tightly wrapped hard yarn mallet will be more staccato then a loosely wrapped soft yarn mallet.
louder/brighter/softer/shorter sound ...compared to what?
There are also too many variables in the question itself, because the type of comparison mallet is not defined. A timpani mallet has a felt head, a drum mallet has a wooden head and a glockenspiel mallet has a plastic head which all producer very different sound; felt is really soft when plastic is really bright. When you wrap the mallet in yarn, you might get brighter sound than the felt, but softer sound than the plastic. The loudness and sustain factor have more to do with the force used to strike and rebound the mallet.
But if I would have to guess, it is C because in general yarn is softer than plastic, wood and felt.
