Solution

The correct option is A Polylactic acid
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a transparent plastic produced from corn or dextrose. Its characteristics are similar to conventional petrochemical-based mass plastics, and it can be processed using standard equipment that already exists for the production of some conventional plastics. PLA and PLA blends generally come in the form of granulates with various properties, and are used in the plastic processing industry for the production of films, fibres, plastic containers, cups and bottles.
