Solution

The correct option is C

A and C


Plastics are classified based on the type of arrangement of monomer units. In some cases, the arrangement is linear, whereas in others it is cross-linked.

Nylon and polyvinyl chloride are linear chain polymers (thermoplastics) while melamine and bakelite are cross-linked polymers (thermosetting plastics).
