    A
    HDPE
  • B
    LDPE
  • C
    PP
  • D
    PS

Solution

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a tough, hard, and rigid polymer with high tensile strength and excellent chemical resistance. Due to these properties, it is widely used in the manufacture of household articles like buckets, dustbins, pipes, and various types of bottles, including shampoo bottles and milk jugs.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is typically used for flexible items like squeeze bottles and packaging films, while Polypropylene (PP) is used for ropes and toys, and Polystyrene (PS) is used for making thermocol and cabinet casings.

Answer: HDPE

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
