Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermoplastics are polymers that can be recycled. They can be melted with heat and moulded into any shape which becomes hard when cooled. The heat applied to it in the process of recycling does not affect its chemical composition.

There are two main classes of thermoplastics; semi-crystalline and amorphous.

An amorphous thermoplastic has a disorderly arranged molecular structure which makes it difficult to have a definite melting temperature (Tm). However, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic has a well arranged molecular structure which makes it melt after a certain/definite amount of heat is absolved. Hence, the correct answer is A
