Solution

The correct option is A Bakelite
A thermosetting polymer which is also called a thermoset or thermosetting plastic is a polymer whose structure is made up of cross linkings of molecules that have heavy branching.
Bakelite is a cross linked polymer which after heating can not be recovered in its original structure. Hence it is a thermosetting polymer.
Hence, option (b) is correct answer.
