Answer: The correct and is

Step-by-step explanation:

What is extrusion?

Extrusion is a manufacturing process used to make basically pipes and hoses.

The pvc granules are melt into a liquid which is forced through a die, forming a long 'tube like' shape. The shape of the die determines the shape of the tube.
