Solution

The correct option is B

False


Polythene is an example of synthetic polymer, but not a fibre.
The difference between plastics and fibers is how they are made. Plastic is made by melting particles together. Fiber is made by weaving materials together.
Materials used to make synthetic fibers can be used to make plastics, but not all materials used in making plastics can be used for synthetic fibers.
