C
Steel
D
Polymer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, polyethylene, polyester, Teflon, and epoxy. Natural polymers occur in nature and can be extracted.

Detailed explanation-2: -All plastics are polymers, but not all polymers are plastic. Plastic is a specific type of polymer. Plastics are synthetic and do not occur naturally.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synthetic polymers are defined as polymers that are artificially produced in laboratories. These are also known as man-made polymers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synthetic polymers are sometimes referred to as “plastics”, of which the well-known ones are nylon and polyethylene. The polymers which are formed by linking monomer units, without any change of material, are known as addition polymers or also called chain-growth polymers.
