Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{2} = C H - C H_{3}$

Hence, polypropylene must have its monomeric unit derived from propylene (3 carbon unit).
Polypropylene, also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar.

Hence the correct option is A.
