Which of the following statements about low density polythene is FALSE ?

  • A. It is a poor conductor of electricity
  • B. Its synthesis requires dioxygen or a peroxide initiator as a catalyst
  • C. It is used in the manufacture of buckets, dust-bins etc.
  • D. Its synthesis requires high pressure
