Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Bio-degradable polymer: The polymers derived from various renewable resources especially the materials, which can be decomposed to simpler substance ( CH ₄ . , other inorganic compounds CO ₂ , biomass, and water) under microbial enzymatic action. An example of biodegradable polymer are poly hydroxybutyrate - Co- -hydroxy variant (PHBV) it is formed by combining 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxy pentatonic acid.
