Correct answer: C
Natural polymers are polymers that occur naturally in plants, animals, or living organisms.
Examples:
Cellulose → Found in plant cell walls
Starch → Plant storage polysaccharide
RNA → Natural nucleic acid polymer
Rayon is not a natural polymer. It is a semi-synthetic (artificial) polymer produced chemically from natural cellulose and is therefore known as artificial silk.
Hence, the correct answer is Rayon.
