Solution

The correct option is B

They don't break like glass, are unreactive,cheap and strong.


The widespread use of plastic occurs because it’s lighter, cheaper, doesn’t break like glass and most importantly it is non-reactive. Also, they are poor conductors of heat and electricity which make them popular in household items.
