Solution

The correct option is B a good shock absorber
Thermocol is made up of a complex material called polystyrene. It is good shock-absorber, absorbs the jerk from the external environment and prevents it from breaking. In addition to that, it is light weight, durable and resists moisture. Thus, thermocol is used to pack delicate items.
