Best answer
Right choice is (c) Coefficient of friction

The best explanation: Coefficient of friction is the measure of ease with which one layer slides over another layer of plastic. Blocking is the ability of two films to be in such a contact, so as to eliminate any air present in between the layers. Crease or flex resistance is the resistance of a plastic against crease of flexing by repeatedly folding the film forward and backward at a given rate.
