Rayon is

a. Synthetic Fiber

b. Semi-Synthetic Fiber

c. Natural Fiber

d. Artificial Fiber

ANSWER: Semi-Synthetic Fiber

Explanation:

Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber.

It is made from purified cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound.

It is then dissolved and forced through a spinneret to produce filaments which are chemically solidified, resulting in synthetic fibers of nearly pure cellulose.

Because rayon is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers, it is considered a semi-synthetic fiber.

Specific types of rayon include viscose, modal and lyocell, each of which differs in manufacturing process and properties of the finished product.
