Solution

The correct option is A Both A and B
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic which is one of the first plastics made from synthetic components. It's used for its electrical non-conductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio, and telephone casings. Similarly, melamine resin is a thermosetting plastic used in high pressure decorative laminates, laminate floorings and dry erase boards.
