Solution

The correct option is B Teflon
Fully fluorinated polymers mean a polymer that contains only fluorine rather than other substituents.
Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fully fluorinated polymer.
It is prepared when tetrafluoroethylene is subjected to polymerization in presence of acetyl peroxide which gives rise to an additional polymer. The above reaction involved in this process is written below:

Hence, Teflon is a fully fluorinated polymer.
