Question

Rayon is called as ______.

• A. Natural cotton
• B. Natural silk because it is made up from cellulose
• C. Man-made cotton fibre
• D. Man-made silk

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Man-made silk

Rayon was the first manufactured fiber. The term rayon was officially adopted by the textile industry. It has the texture and feel of silk but costs less to produce. Unlike most man-made fibers, rayon is not synthetic. It is made from wood pulp, a naturally-occurring, cellulose-based raw material.
