Solution

The correct option is B Polyacrylonitrile
Orlon is prepared by the addition reaction of vinyl cyanide or in other words acrylonitrile molecules or can be called as PAN which stands for Poly acrylonitrile. In this reaction the double bonds of the central carbons are broken to form single bonds and an additional new bond is formed with a new carbon.
Hence, option (d) is correct answer.
