Assertion : Rayon is a semi synthetic polymer and is taken as a better choice than cotton fabric.


Reason : Mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by acetylation.


Rayon is a semi-synthetic polymer and is taken as a better choice than cotton fabric because properties of cellulose get enhanced by acetylation during processing.



Thus, both the assertion and the reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
