The correct options are
A light-weight
B water-resistant
D excellent strength
The manufacturing of parachutes require a strong, water-resistant, light-weight and durable fibre with good elasticity.
Nylon, a synthetic fibre, fulfills all of these properties and are economical too. Hence, it is used in the manufacturing of parachutes.

However, nylon fibres are not fire-resistant.
