The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Definition of Synthetic Substances**: Synthetic substances are materials that are not derived from natural sources. They are man-made and do not originate from plants or animals. 2. **Identify the Groups**: The question presents several groups of substances. We need to analyze each group to determine which contains only synthetic substances. 3. **Analyze Each Group**: - **Group 1**: Contains nylon, terilene, wool. - Nylon and terilene are synthetic, but wool is a natural polymer derived from sheep. Therefore, this group is not entirely synthetic. - **Group 2**: Contains polycot, rayon, cotton. - Polycot is synthetic, but rayon is derived from natural cellulose, and cotton is a natural fiber from plants. Hence, this group is not entirely synthetic. - **Group 3**: Contains PVC, polyethylene, and bacillus. - PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and polyethylene are synthetic plastics. Bacillus is a thermosetting plastic, which is also synthetic. This group contains all synthetic substances. - **Group 4**: Contains acrylic, silk, and wool. - Acrylic is synthetic, but silk and wool are natural fibers. Therefore, this group is not entirely synthetic. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the groups, the third group (PVC, polyethylene, and bacillus) contains all synthetic substances. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct option is the third group. ---
