Solution

The correct option is C During polymerisation, a linear unbranched, crystalline polymer is usually obtained
The statement (C) is not true. During polymerization, a branched polymer is usually obtained . Chain branching always occur during olefenic polymerization due to abstraction of some H-radical from the growing polymer chain.

Note: $1^{o}$ free radical forms $2^{o}$ free radical by abstracting hydrogen at middle of another chain, which further adds to propene and there is growing of the branch. Ziegler Natta catalyst is titanium chloride and triethyl aluminum $[T i C l_{4} + A l (C_{2} H_{5})_{3}]$
