A Correct answer
Explanation

Rayon is manufactured by regenerating cellulose from wood pulp or cotton linters through chemical processing. It's classified as a semi-synthetic fiber because it uses natural cellulose but requires chemical transformation. Terylene and polyester are synthetic, while nylon is a polyamide made from petrochemicals, not cellulose.
