Question:

Which of the following statements about low density polythene is FALSE?

Its synthesis requires dioxygen or a peroxide initiator as a catalyst

Its synthesis requires high pressure

It is used in the manufacture of buckets, dust-bins etc.

It is a poor conductor of electricity

Solution:

Low density polythene is a poor conductor of electricity. For the preparation of this low density polythene dioxygen or a peroxide initiator is used as a catalyst and its synthesis requires high pressure but it is not used in preparation of buckets, dust-bins etc. The preparation of Low density polythene is an exothermic process. So, answer is C.
