- A$\text{Pvc}$
- BAcrylic
- CTeflon
- ✓Pet
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Pet
$(d)$ PET
$\text{PET} ($Polyethylene Terephthalate$)$ is a tough, durable, light$-$weight, non$-$reactive material that is used to make kitchen containers.
It is recyclable and may be moulded into a variety of shapes.
Hence this option is correct.
Explanation for incorrect options:
$(a) \text{PVC}$
$\text{PVC}$ is a non$-$toxic material.
Despite the fact that it includes chlorine, it is not toxic at room temperature.
But at high temperatures degradation produces dioxin and other toxins; the plasticizer in $\text{PVC}$ is extremely harmful.
So it cannot be used to make kitchen utensils
Hence this option is not correct.
$(b)$ Acrylic
It is not safe to microwave food in $\text{BPA}-$free acrylic food canisters.
Hence this option is not correct.
$(c )$ Teflon
Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic chemical used to coat cookware.
But storing food in these for long time can be fatal.
Hence this option is not correct.
Hence the correct option is $(d) \text{PET}$
