Solution

The correct option is D Cotton
Fibres prepared artificially from chemicals are called synthetic fibres. They are mostly prepared from petrochemicals. For example - acrylic, nylon, polyester, etc.

Synthetic fibres catch fire easily. When they catch fire, they melt and stick to the skin of the person wearing it. Hence, it is advised not to wear clothes made of synthetic fibres, in kitchen and laboratories.
