Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Plastic cylinders are not preferred because they are heat liable and and also react to certain chemicals.

The cylinders made of glass has least reactivity towards certain chemicals and heat.

Many experiments are exothermic which release heat there are chances that plastic may melt but glass cylinders would not melt.
