Solution

The correct option is C Nylon
Nylon threads are strong, elastic and lightweight. A nylon wire is stronger than a steel wire having the same diameter. Hence, it is preferred for making parachutes.

Harness straps, tents, sleeping bags, sails, ropes, fishing poles, etc are also made from nylon fibers because of its strength.
