Solution

The correct option is A

Low density polymers like LDPE


Branched polymers are always relatively lower in density compared to linear polymers since the branching stops them from packing to densely.
These branches in a polymer decrease the ability of close packing of the chains. This effect also decreases the density, melting temperature and tensile strength of the polymer.
