D Correct answer
Explanation

Polycarbonates are tough, transparent thermoplastics with excellent impact resistance, making them ideal for bullet-proof glass, security windows, and protective gear. Their molecular structure contains carbonate groups that provide exceptional strength. Polyvinyl chloride is used for pipes, polyamides (nylon) for textiles, and polyethylene for packaging.
