Answer 1

The correct option is A It should be elastic in nature.

The following properties make plastic a good choice for making bottles:
(i) Water should not pass through plastic.
(ii) It should not react with water.
(iii) It should be lighter and easy to carry.
While being elastic in nature does not serve the purpose for holding water, as it would make the bottle difficult to handle.
