Frying pan handles are made up of

  • A. thermoplastic
  • B. thermosetting Plastic
  • C. rayon
  • D. PVC

Step-by-step solution

Frying pan handles must withstand high heat without melting or deforming. Thermosetting plastics, such as bakelite, are cross-linked polymers that do not soften upon heating, making them suitable for this application. In contrast, thermoplastics like PVC can soften and lose shape under heat, and rayon is a fiber not used for handles.
