Solution

The correct option is D ethene

The repeating structural units which are derived from some simple and reactive molecules are known as Monomers.

Polythene is the most common plastic. It is prepared by polymerisation.
Polymerisation is a process in which large number of simple (same or different) molecules (Monomers) combine to form a bigger molecule of higher molecular mass.
Ethene is the monomer of polythene, it undergoes polymerisation at high temperature and pressure in presence of catalyst to form polythene polymer.
