Answer» Correct Answer - C Silicones were originally developed as electrical insulators because they are more stable to heat than are organic polymers, and if they break down, they do not produce conducting materials as `C` does. They show resistance to oxidation and most chemicals Their strength and inertness are related to the stable silica-like skeleton of `Si-O-Si-O-Si` and very high strength of the `Si-O` bond.
