Solution

The correct option is C Condensation polymerisation
Condensation polymers are kind of polymers formed through condensation reaction, where molecule join together-loosing small molecules as byproducts such as water $(H_{2} O)$ .
Preparation of nylon from hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid follows as
$n C O O H - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O H a d i p i c a c i d + n N H_{2} - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{2} h e x a m e t h y l e n e d i a m i n e ↓ - n H_{2} O N y l o n 6, 6$
Hence, preparation of nylon is an example of condensation polymerisation.
