Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) can be made into a fibre or a plastic. It is less gas permeable as compared to other low cost plastics hence is used to store carbonated drinks, acidic drinks and juices, etc. It can be recycled. It contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, hence on complete combustion produces `CO_2 and H_2O`.
