Best answer
Correct answer is (c) LLDPE

Best explanation: LLDPE-Linear Low Density Polyethylene is used for shrink bundling. LLDPE is a copolymer made up of ethylene and another longer olefin, whereas LDPE is a homopolymer made only of ethylene monomers. LLDPE has a greater tensile strength or resistance to harsh environment.
