Solution

The correct option is D Nylon-6,6
The polymer formed by the condensation of hexamethylenediamine $(H_{2} N - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{2})$ and adipic acid $(H O O C - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O H)$ is Nylon-6,6.
$H_{2} N - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{2} + H O O C - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O H Δ - \to H_{3} N^{+} - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{3}^{+} O^{-} O C - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O^{-}$

$n H_{3} N^{+} - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{3}^{+} O^{-} O C - (C H_{2})_{4} - C O O^{-} Δ - --- \to - H_{2} O [H N - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H C | | O - (C H_{2})_{4} - C | | O]_{n} Nylon 6, 6$
