The correct option is D

Melamine


Melamine is a versatile material which resists the spread of fire. It can tolerate heat better than other plastics. It is used in the firefighters' uniforms for the protection of their body from heat hazards. It is also used for making floor tiles, kitchenware, in aeroplanes and buses to prevent the spread of fire.
