Options

  1. AHomopolymer and copolymer are both types of synthetic polymers.
  2. BThe addition polymers formed by the polymerisation of a single monomeric species are known as homopolymers whe
  3. CHomopolymer and copolymer are synonyms and can be used interchangeably.
  4. DHomopolymer and copolymer are terms used in biology to describe different types of cells.

Correct answer

B. The addition polymers formed by the polymerisation of a single monomeric species are known as homopolymers whe

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) The addition polymers formed by the polymerisation of a single monomeric species are known as homopolymers whereas the polymers made by addition polymerisation from two different monomers are termed as copolymers
