Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer : a) Rayon

Explanation :

The polymers which are obtained from plants and animals are called a natural polymers.

Rayon is a semi-synthetic polymer which is derived from a natural polymer by chemical modification. Cellulose on acetylation with acetic anhydride in sulphuric acid gives cellulose acetate polymer or rayon.

Remaining all are naturally obtained polymer.
