Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is Polymer?
A
involves at least two different monomers
B
the long-chain molecule that is made from a combination of repeating basic units
C
the synthetic polymer that is elastic in nature or elastomer polymer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymer molecules, or macromolecules, are composed of large numbers of linked, small repeat units. The units from which polymers are synthesized are called monomers. Polymers may be made from one kind of monomer, giving homopolymers, or from several kinds of monomers, giving copolymers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polymers are large molecules made up of long chains or networks of smaller molecules called monomers. Natural polymers include silk, hair, proteins and DNA, while synthetic (man-made) polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers are molecules from which the repeating units in a polymer are made.
