- BPolysaccharide
- ✓Polyamide
- DPolythene
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Polyamide
Nylon is an example of Polyamide.
For example, Nylon$-6, 6$ is a copolymer of adipic acid $\left[\mathrm{HOOC}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4-\mathrm{COOH}\right]$ and hexamethylenediamine $\left[\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~N}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_6-\mathrm{NH}_2\right]$.
It is a polyamide represented as $\left[-\mathrm{CO}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{NH}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_6-\mathrm{NH}-\right]_n$.
