Question

Which list shows typical uses of man-made fibres?
  1. Acling film, fishing line, parachutes
  2. Bcling film, clothing, sleeping bags
  3. Cclothing, fishing line, parachutes
  4. Dfishing line, plastic bags, sleeping bags
Correct answer: C

Video Solution

Explanation

Answer: C. Man-made fibres are long thin polymer threads — primarily nylon and polyester. Their typical applications are clothing fabrics, fishing line (nylon), and parachutes (also nylon). All three are 'thread-like' uses where strength along a single direction matters.

Cling film and plastic bags appear in some distractor options, but those are plastic films (poly(ethene)), not fibres. Films are sheet-like, made from blown or extruded plastic, and serve a different role from spun fibres.

Sleeping bags use synthetic insulation, but their primary fibre identity is less clean than the trio in option C, which is unambiguously fibre-only.
