Solution

The correct option is C Polymerisation reaction
The process in which large number of simple (same or different) molecules (Monomers) combine to form a bigger molecule of higher molecular mass is known as Polymerisation.
Ethene molecule polymerises to give polythene.
$n (C H_{2} = C H_{2}) High temp./pressure - ----------- \to Catalyst - (C H_{2} - C H_{2}) -_{n} Polythene$
