Solution

The correct option is D Teflon
Teflon is a chain-growth polymer manufactured by heating tetrafluoromethane with a free radical or persulphate catalyst at high pressures.

$n C F_{2} = C F_{2} c a t a l y s t - ------- \to H i g h p r e s s u r e - [C F_{2} - C F_{2} -]_{n}$

Tetrafluoroethane Teflon

Whereas, nylon, bakelite and terylene are condensation polymers.
