Solution

The correct option is A
Artificially synthesized fibre

Fibres made by the human beings are called synthetic fibres or manmade fibres. Synthetic fibres are made by the joining of monomers into polymers. For example, nylon, rayon etc.

Since they are man-made they can be given characteristic properties as desired.
