Solution

The correct option is A

Nylon clothing can stand high temperature and are therefore good to wear in summers.


Explanation for correct option:

(A): Nylon clothing is made from synthetic fibers and they cannot withstand high temperatures and are not suitable to wear in summers.

Explanation for incorrect options:

(B): Thermosetting plastics are generally harder and stronger. These polymers cannot be softened and melted on heating.

(C): Those polymers which are formed by the addition of monomers without the elimination of small products are termed addition polymers.

(D): The rubber that is extracted from naturally occurring sources is determined as natural rubber. It is obtained as latex from rubber trees.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is (A).
