The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Terylene (also known as PET) is a polyester that has strong intermolecular forces due to the ester functional group, which can form hydrogen bonds. These forces make the polymer more rigid and have higher intermolecular attraction compared to the other options, like polystyrene, neoprene, and polythene.
Polystyrene, neoprene, and polythene have weaker intermolecular forces, with polythene being the weakest due to its non-polar nature.

The correct option is (C): Terylene
