Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Long term hunting has led to following  

a) Reduction in population size and hence the gene pool

b) Causation of Bottleneck effect

Due to above factors, the remaining population of Northern elephant seals does not represent the original genetic problem.  

Due to this restriction in mating and genetic variation shall prevail pertaining to reduced gene pool.  

Due to continuous hunting, the gene pool will further shrink, leading to genetic similarity among the organism

Option C is correct

Electrical products

Explanation - Polymers of electrical products can be produced in large quantities and low cost. This type of polymer are non-conductive in nature. However, they very high heat resistance property. Polymers for electrical products can mold itself in various shapes and sizes and also can reach very minute areas.

Polymers vary from one item to another. Polymers for commercial packaging is different from polymers of electrical products. Thus, polymers need to be chosen properly according to the use and its effectiveness.
