Correct answer: Synthetic materials are human-made using chemical processes from natural resources.
Brief explanation: Unlike natural materials (found in nature with little or no processing), synthetic materials are created by people through chemical or industrial processes, often starting from natural resources like oil, minerals, or plant feedstocks.
