Solution

The correct option is D plastic
Fibre is a very thin, thread-like strand from which a fabric can be made. Fabrics are further stitched together to form clothes. Fibres are categorized into:
  1. Natural fibres (obtained from the Nature)
  2. Synthetic or artificial fibres (made in a factory)
Nylon and polyester are examples of synthetic fibres, while silk is a natural fibre obtained from the cocoon of a silkworm.

Plastic is not a fibre. It is a chemical substance that can be melted and made into several daily-life objects like mugs, buckets and plates.
