Solution

The correct option is C Terylene
Condensation polymers are any kind of polymers formed through a condensation reaction, where molecules join together and lose small molecules as by-products such as water or methanol.
Polythene is made by the addition polymerization of ethylene monomers. Polyvinyl chloride is produced by polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer.
Terylene is a synthetic polyester fiber produced by polymerizing ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the removal of water.
Hence, option c is the answer.
