Match the polymer in Group I to the polymer characteristic in Group II: P. Polyethylene, Q. Phenol-formaldehyde polymer, R. Polyisoprene, S. Polyester — I. Elastomer, II. Fiber, III. Thermoplastic, IV. Thermosetting polymer

  • P-III, Q-IV, R-I, S-II
  • BP-IV, Q-II, R-III, S-I
  • CP-III, Q-II, R-I, S-IV
  • DP-IV, Q-III, R-I, S-II

Explanation

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic (P-III). Phenol-formaldehyde is a classic thermosetting polymer (Q-IV). Polyisoprene (natural rubber) is an elastomer (R-I). Polyester is spun into fiber (S-II).
