Under identical load conditions, nylon, when compared with natural fiber line, will stretch _______________.

A less and have less strength
B less and have greater strength
C more and have greater strength
D more and have less strength
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) more and have greater strength. Nylon, a synthetic fiber, generally stretches more and has greater strength compared to natural fiber lines under identical load conditions. This is due to the molecular structure and properties of nylon, which allow it to withstand higher tensile forces before breaking, while also exhibiting more elasticity and elongation compared to natural fibers like manila or hemp. The other options are incorrect because: A) Nylon does not stretch less and have less strength than natural fiber lines. B) Nylon stretches more, not less, compared to natural fiber lines. D) Nylon has greater strength, not less, compared to natural fiber lines.
