None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The dicarboxylic acid ethanedioic acid and the diol ethanediol combine in a condensation polymerisation reaction to produce a polyester.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polyesters are an example of a condensation polymer. A simple polyester can be made from a monomer which has two hydroxyl groups (-OH) and another monomer which has two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH). We can simplify the equation by using symbols to represent the carbon chain in the middle of each of the two monomers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dicarboxylic acids react with diols to form alternating type of co-polymer. They form polyesters such as glyptal, daozon. They are alternating co-polymer because there is alternative one carboxylic acid and one alcoholic unit.
Detailed explanation-4: -In polymer chemistry, condensation polymers are any kind of polymers whose process of polymerization involves a condensation reaction (i.e. a small molecule, such as water or methanol, is produced as a byproduct).
