Solution

The correct option is B Thermoplastic
The shown polymer is polyvinyl chloride. It is a dense linear polymer which is capable of repeatedly softening on heating and hardening on cooling.
In thermoplastics, intermolecular forces of attraction are intermediate between elastomers and fibres.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
