Which outcome occurs when excessive tension breaks spider silk's structure?

A)Van der Waals force decreases rapidly
B)Covalent bond breakage increases markedly
C)Hydrogen bond reformation accelerates promptly
D)Hydrophobic interactions become prevalent promptly

💡 Explanation

Increased tension to spider silk breaks the strong covalent carbon-carbon bonds rather than weaker intermolecular forces. Because breaking covalent bonds requires high energy, silk degrades; therefore, the structure fails due to covalent bond rupture rather than only hydrogen bond shifts.
