✓ Answer: D Rayon
Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from natural sources like wood pulp or cotton linters through chemical processing. Although rayon is not entirely natural because it undergoes a significant transformation using chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide, rayon is often called artificial silk due to its shiny appearance and soft texture.
