Solution

The correct option is B hydrogen bonds
The nitrogen-bonded hydrogens of one nylon chain form strong hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl oxygens of another nylon chain. These hydrogen bonds make crystals of nylon very strong because they hold the nylon chains together very tightly. These strong crystals make strong fibers.
Option A is correct.
