Solution

The correct option is C it is obtained from wood pulp
Rayon is manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. It is made from purified cellulose from wood pulp which is converted into soluble compound which is chemically solidified to form synthetic fiber. Because rayon is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers, it is considered a semi-synthetic fiber.
