The correct option is B Bakelite

Thermosetting plastics are those plastics which once moulded, cannot be softened by heating. Two examples are:

1) Bakelite: Used for making electrical switches, handles of various utensils.

2) Melamine: Used for making floor tiles, kitchenware and fabrics which can resist heat.
