Solution
The correct option is D Melamine Thermosetting plastics cannot be softened and remoulded again, by heating them. Bakelite and melamine are few examples of thermosetting plastics.
Melamine resists fire and can tolerate heat to a large extent. Hence, it is used for making floor tiles, kitchenware and fabrics which resist fire.
