Solution
The correct option is C Bakelite
Unlike thermoplastics that melt and can be remoulded when exposed to heat, thermosetting plastics or thermosets become set in their physical and chemical properties after an initial heat treatment.
Therefore, they are no longer affected by additional heat exposure.
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic. It retains its shape and size even when heated at high temperatures.
