The correct option is B melamine-formaldehyde
Melamine-formaldehyde polymer formed by the condensation polymerisation of melamine and formaldehyde is a cross-linked polymer or the mono-setting polymer which on heating undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become infusible. These cannot be reused. Some common examples are bakelite, urea-formaldelyde resins, etc.
It is used in the manufacture of unbreakable crockery.
