Solution
The correct option is B Rayon Rayon is a semi-synthetic fibre that was developed as a cheap alternative for silk. It is prepared by the chemical processing of wood pulp or cellulose. It resembles the texture and look of natural silk and can be woven like silk fibres. It is also called artificial silk and is cheaper than silk.
