Solution

The correct option is C Nylon
Nylon fibres are strong, elastic and light-weight. Nylon fibres have tremendous strength and can bear a lot of weight. Hence, nylon is preferred for making ropes, parachutes, etc.

However, cotton, wool and jute fibres have less strength as compared to that of nylon. Hence, they are less preferred for making ropes that can be used for rock climbing.
