Solution

The correct option is B Terylene
When a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react, a water molecule is removed, and an ester molecule is formed. Because of this ester formation, this bond is known as an ester linkage.

Terylene or dacron is formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It has ester linkages present in the structure.

Hence, option C is correct.
