Solution

The correct option is C Persulphate
This is the addition polymerisation of tetrafluoroethene to give Teflon. It is carried out in the presence of a free radical or persulphate catalyst at high pressures.
$n C F_{2} = C F_{2} persulphate - ------- \to high pressure {[- C F_{2} - C F_{2} -]}_{n}$
