Solution

The correct option is A

Many + units


"Poly” means many and "mer” means units hence polymer means many units. Polymers are created by polymerization of smaller molecules known as monomers. They range from familiar synthetic plastics such as polystyrene to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins that are fundamental to biological structure and function.
