Answer:

The correct answer is - polyester.

Step-by-step explanation:

Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber that is used more than any other fiber due to its cost-effectiveness, easy to produce, and able to spun together with other natural and synthetic fibers like cotton, silk, and rayon.

Polyester is the commercially most successful fiber as it has more than 51 percent market share approximately which is more than any other fiber and produced more than half of all fibers.
