    This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Option (B)

    Explanation: Low-density polythene is obtained from the polymerization of ethane under high pressure and temperature. Low-density polyethylene is tough, a poor conductor of electricity and has a highly branched structure.

    Low-density polythene is not hard because branched structure prevents stacking and thus, reduces the intermolecular force of attraction.

    So, option (B) is correct.
