B Correct answer
Explanation

Nylon is the primary material used in modern parachutes because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, elasticity, and resistance to moisture. It can withstand the extreme forces of deployment while remaining lightweight enough to minimize falling speed. Rubber and leather are too heavy for parachute use, while Freon is a refrigerant gas, not a fabric material.
