Solution

The correct option is B polyamide
Nylon is the first fully synthetic fibre which is made from polyamides.

For producing nylon, solid chips of polyamides are melted and forced through a heated spinneret, which has very tiny holes. The fibres can be drawn out of this spinneret and can be spun or woven when it becomes solid, after cooling.
