  3. CNovolac
  4. DDacron

Correct answer

A. Teflon

Step-by-step solution

Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) is prepared by the addition polymerisation of tetrafluoroethylene (CF_2=CF_2)underhighpressureinthepresenceofafreeradicalcatalyst.<br><br>Nylon−6,6isacondensationpolymerformedfromhexamethylenediamineandadipicacid.<br><br>Novolacisacondensationpolymerformedfromphenolandformaldehyde.<br><br>Dacron(polyethyleneterephthalate)isacondensationpolymerformedfromethyleneglycolandterephthalicacid.<br><br>Answer:Teflon) under high pressure in the presence of a free radical catalyst.<br><br>Nylon-6,6 is a condensation polymer formed from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.<br><br>Novolac is a condensation polymer formed from phenol and formaldehyde.<br><br>Dacron (polyethylene terephthalate) is a condensation polymer formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.<br><br>Answer: Teflon
