The reason behind rayon being considered as a synthetic fibre even though it is prepared from wood pulp is:

• A. silk is mixed with wood pulp to make rayon.

• C. nylon is mixed with wood pulp to make rayon.
• D. some chemical are mixed with wood pulp to make rayon.

Rayon is not obtained naturally from the wood pulp. It is obtained by the chemical treatment of the wood pulp. This is why it is not considered as a natural fibre.
