      The correct answer is Silk.

      Key Points

      • Silk is a natural polymer. 
      • Natural polymers occur in nature and can be extracted.
        • Examples of naturally occurring polymers are silk, wool, DNA, cellulose and proteins, and rubber.
      •  Natural polymers have been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications such as pharmaceuticals, tissue regeneration scaffolds, drug delivery agents, and imaging agents.
        • In wound care, they are used as dressings for acute or chronic wounds and as regeneration templates.
      • Hence, option 2 is correct.

      Additional Information

      • Polymer :
        • A polymer is a large molecule or a macromolecule which essentially is a combination of many subunits.
        • Polymers may be naturally found in plants and animals (natural polymers) or maybe man-made (synthetic polymers).
        • Different polymers have a number of unique physical and chemical properties due to which they find usage in everyday life.
        • Polymers cannot be classified under one category because of their complex structures, different behaviours, and vast applications.
      • Classification of Polymers :
        • Natural Polymers:
          • ​They occur naturally and are found in plants and animals.
          • To add up, we also have biodegradable polymers which are called biopolymers.
        • Semi-synthetic Polymers:
          • They are derived from naturally occurring polymers and undergo further chemical modification.
            • For example – cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate.
        • Synthetic Polymers:
          • These are man-made polymers.
          • Plastic is the most common and widely used synthetic polymer.
          • It is used in industries and various dairy products.
          • For example – nylon-6, 6, polyethers.
