Solution

The correct option is A Artificial silk
Artificial silk. The first artificial fibre, known as artificial silk was also known as viscose around 1894, and finally rayon in 1924. A similar product known as cellulose acetate was discovered in 1865. Rayon and acetate are both artificial fibres, not truly synthetic, being made from wood.
