Explanation:

- The sentence structure indicates a passive construction, as it describes what happens to man-made fibers. In this context, the use of "are" fits with the passive voice requirement.

- Option 1: "be" is incorrect because it does not fit grammatically in the context where a form of "to be" is necessary to construct a passive verb.

- Option 2: "will be" suggests a future action, which does not align with the passage explaining a general present-day fact.

- Option 3: "is" is singular and would not match the plural subject "fibres."

- Option 4: "are" is the correct choice as it agrees in number with the plural noun “fibres” and appropriately continues the passive construction needed in the context.
