Solution

The correct option is B Nylon
Nylon remains the most popular material.
More specifically, parachutes are made of "ripstop" nylon that is woven with a double or extra-thick thread at regular intervals, creating a pattern of small squares.
Nylon is used for making parachutes and stockings as it is strong, elastic, and lightweight.
Therefore, option B is correct.
