PVC is used in making pipes because it is:
A. Flexible and elastic
B. Biodegradable
C. Transparent and brittle
D. Strong, rigid, and chemically resistant

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rigid PVC (unplasticized, uPVC) is hard, strong, and resistant to chemicals and weathering, making it ideal for pipes, window frames, and fittings. Flexible PVC uses plasticizers. It is not biodegradable. Transparency depends on additives; generally it's translucent. Its chemical resistance is due to the chlorine content.
