The correct option is: both (B) and (C).

Rayon, being a synthetic polymer, does not stick to the wound like cotton, and it can absorb over 90% of its weight of water, making it superior for wound treatment in terms of gauge material.

Rayon fibre is not obtained directly from the cellulose. It obtained by chemical treatment of cellulose. Hence, it is a semi-synthetic fibre.

Made with viscose based threads, Rayon bandages provide protection properties, ventilation, and avoid adherence to the wound, being easy to remove and allowing for a simple exchange of the bandage.
