Solution

The correct option is A Viscose
Cellulose (say, cotton) is dissolved in a mixture of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and carbon disulphide ( $C S_{2}$ , a solvent). A viscous liquid (i.e., a liquid which cannot flow freely) called viscose is obtained. The viscose is then forced through spinnerets (which have small holes) into an acid bath, and filaments of viscose rayon are obtained.
