How is PHBV different from other synthetic polymers?

Options

  1. APHBV is not a polymer; it is a natural material.
  2. BPHBV is a polymer but cannot undergo bacterial degradation.
  3. CPHBV is a synthetic polymer with the ability to undergo bacterial degradation.
  4. DPHBV is a synthetic polymer primarily used in the construction industry.

Correct answer

C. PHBV is a synthetic polymer with the ability to undergo bacterial degradation.

Step-by-step solution

PHBV is unique among synthetic polymers because it can undergo bacterial degradation in the environment, making it more environmentally friendly.
