Solution

The correct option is C
Silicone rubber

Silicone rubber is an inorganic polymer.
Rayon, Starch & natural rubber are organic polymers.

Do you understand why it is called an 'inorganic polymer'? Just like organic chemistry talks about the carbon compounds and inorganic chemistry talks about all others, in this case, the other 3 are carbon compounds. Hence the term 'organic' and silicone rubber is called 'inorganic' polymer.
