What is nylon used for?

• A. Fibres, tights, clothing and plastics
• B. Medicines
• C. Construction
• D. Sports equipment

Answer: (A)

Nylon is a synthetic polymer that forms strong, fine fibers and durable plastics. Because of these properties, it is widely used to make textiles such as tights and clothing, and to manufacture plastic components and everyday plastic products. That combination—textiles (fibres, tights, clothing) and plastics—best describes nylon’s common uses, which is why this option fits best. Medicines are unrelated to nylon’s main function, construction relies on other materials like concrete and steel, and while nylon can appear in sports gear, its core uses are more broadly in textiles and plastics.
