Assuming silk from spiderwebs could be made just as strong as Kevlar, why would a company still choose to use Kevlar in producing

bulletproof fabrics?(1 point)
The cost might be higher for producing spiderweb silk.
A much larger amount of silk might be needed to produce the same effect.
Spiderweb silk would likely be rejected by the body.
Spiderweb silk likely involves more chemicals.

The most likely reason a company might still choose to use Kevlar instead of spiderweb silk, even if the silk were just as strong, is that the cost might be higher for producing spiderweb silk. Silk production from spiders is not as scalable or efficient as the synthetic production of Kevlar, which could lead to higher costs, making it less economically viable for widespread use in bulletproof fabrics.
