Which term describes a material made from different sizes of wood chips and joined with glue?

• A. Natural fibres
• B. Mechanized production
• C. Particle boards
• D. Oxidization resistance

Answer: (C)

Materials made by bonding wood particles with an adhesive and forming them under heat and pressure are engineered wood products. When those particles vary in size, from small particles to larger chips, and are glued together to create a flat panel, the result is particle board. This type of board is widely used for affordable furniture, cabinetry, and interior fittings because the mixed-size wood particles help create a dense, smooth sheet after pressing.

Natural fibres describe fibers from plants or animals, not a wood particle board. Mechanized production refers to the process, not the end product. Oxidization resistance is a property describing how a material reacts with oxygen, not a specific board type.
