Solution

The correct option is C Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic fibre which is strong, elastic and light weight. A nylon wire is stronger than a steel wire having the same diameter. Hence, the nylon string will last the longest, without breaking.

However, cotton, jute and rayon are weak fibres and hence, the strings made out of them break easily.
