Hint: In the above question, it is asked that from which material bedsheets, curtains, tents, parachutes etc. are from the fabrics like cotton, silk, nylon, rayon etc. Cotton, silk are natural fibres while nylon, rayons etc are synthetic fibres.

Complete Step by step solution
Bedsheets, curtains, tents, parachutes are made from the fabrics which can be natural or synthetic.
Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk and wool are made up of animal and plant based fibres.
Synthetic fabrics include polyester, rayon, acrylic etc. these fabrics are usually used in bedsheets, curtains, tents and parachutes. Synthetic fabrics have grown significantly over the last few years. Weak supply of natural fibres is another factor involved in the rise of synthetic fibres demand. Synthetic fibres have superior characteristics of adaptability, durability, elasticity and strength. Moreover, synthetic fibres are cost effective.
Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres. It is used in production of textiles, sewing or knitting. Thread is a type of yarn which is mainly used for sewing.
Plastics are synthetic polymers and are not used in fabric production.
So, option-A, B, C all are the correct option.

Note
-Plastic components are used to replace components which would have been formed or made up of rubber, metal such as buttons, shoulder pads.
-Plastics components are extensively used in footwear.
-China is the biggest manufacturer of synthetic fibres whereas India is the second largest.
-Synthetic fibres have less or no harmful effects in the environment.
