Solution

The correct option is C Melamine
Melamine is a thermosetting plastic. It resists the flame and does not catch 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.
