Solution
The correct option is A Wool, Silk, Cotton, Nylon, Polyester
Tensile strength of polymer increases with an increase in chain length and crosslinking of polymer chains.
According to this, the tensile strength of wool < silk < cotton < nylon < polyester.
Artificial fibers like nylon and polyester are designed specially to have more tensile strength.
