Solution
∙ Most of the synthetic fibres are made up of synthetic polymers obtained from coal, petroleum and natural gas. So, statement 1 is true.
∙ Acrylic resembles wool as its texture and feel is similar to that of wool. So, statement 2 is true.
∙ Most synthetic fibres have lower moisture absorbing capacity than natural fibres. Thus, statement 3 is false.
∙ Polyester is not prepared from cellulose, but from petrochemicals. Thus, statement 4 is false.
So, option C is the correct answer.
∙ Acrylic resembles wool as its texture and feel is similar to that of wool. So, statement 2 is true.
∙ Most synthetic fibres have lower moisture absorbing capacity than natural fibres. Thus, statement 3 is false.
∙ Polyester is not prepared from cellulose, but from petrochemicals. Thus, statement 4 is false.
So, option C is the correct answer.
