Question

Synthetic fibres refers to materials that are obtained directly from nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The term synthetic means man-made. So, synthetic fibres are artificial fibres which are not directly obtained from nature and are instead manufactured in whole or in part through chemical synthesis. Thus, even a fibre that is obtained from the chemical treatment of a natural fibre is considered a synthetic fibre.
