Answered by maham237 @



Answer

Option A = Starch

Explanation

Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. It is the most common carbohydrate in human diets and is contained in large amounts in staple foods like potatoes, wheat, maize (corn), rice, and cassava. The biggest industrial non-food use of starch is as an adhesive in the paper making process.

Nylon is widely used to make jackets, sports bags, tents, parachutes and bathing suits.

Wool has been used for blankets, horse rugs, saddle cloths, carpeting, insulation and upholstery.

The largest consumers of rubber are tires and tubes. Other significant uses of rubber are hoses, belts, matting, flooring, medical gloves and much more.
