Solution
The correct option is B nylon
Nylon ropes are used in cranes and lifts because they are strong, elastic and light. Nylon ropes are among the strongest ropes in common use. It is used for absorbing shock loads, such as when lifting or towing because it has the ability to return to its original length after being stretched. In fact, nylon threads are actually stronger than steel wires!
