Answer
A
design accounting software for a retail chain
B
work in the plastics industry developing new polymers
C
work for a large oil company on pollution control
D
design computer chips to speed up processing

Explanation

Materials engineers study and develop materials, including plastics and polymers, to create or improve products. Developing new polymers in the plastics industry is therefore a direct example of materials engineering. Designing accounting software is software engineering, while pollution control and computer-chip design are more closely associated with other engineering fields.
