Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of the A.
Nylon $- 6$ is made from one monomer i.e; caprolactam.
It is a polyamide as it is formed by the following process,
Polymerization reaction initiates with ring opening of the lactam and then addition reaction occurs resulting in a polymer with linkage of an amino group of one molecule and a carboxylic acid of another group.
