The correct option is B
Rayon

The wool obtained from natural sources is quite expensive, whereas clothes made from acrylic are comparatively cheap but acrylic sweaters are not as good insulators as sweaters made of wool. Hence acrylic is unsuitable for very cold temperatures. So, the statement I is true while statement II is false.
