Solution

The correct option is C tetrafluoroethene
Teflon is a polymer of tetrafluoroethene. Teflon is manufactured by heating tetrafluoroethene with a free radical or persulphate catalyst at high pressures. Hence, it is a polymer of tetrafluoroethene.
It is chemically inert and resistant to attack by corrosive reagents.
$n C F_{2} = C F_{2} persulphate - ------- \to high pressure {[- C F_{2} - C F_{2} -]}_{n}$
