Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Polymers are classified based on intermolecular forces into elastomers, fibres, thermoplastic polymers, and thermosetting polymers.

Nylon 6, 6 has strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding, which lead to close packing of chains and impart high tensile strength. Therefore, it is classified as a fibre.

Urea formaldehyde resin is a thermosetting polymer.

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer.

Neoprene is an elastomer.

Answer: Nylon 6, 6
