Solution

The correct option is C propanoic acid and ethanol
Propanoic acid and ethanol, both are monofunctional monomers $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H, C H_{3} - C H_{2} C O O H$ which are not suitable for a polycondensation reaction to take place because once they combine by condensation polemerisation further polymerisation is not possible.
