Solution

The correct option is B Nylon6,6
The monomer unit of Teflon is Tetrafluoroethylene, which is C2F4.

Nylon6,6 is a polyamide. It is obtained by the condensation polymerisation of hexamethylene diamine with adipic acid.

Terylene is a polyester made by condensation polymerisation of ethylene glycol and dimethylterephthalate.

Bakelite contains monomers joined through C-C bonds. It is obtained by the condensation polymerisation of phenol with formaldehyde.

Hence, option B is correct.
