Solution

The correct option is D Teflon
Teflon is synthesized using a free radical (addition or chain growth) polymerization technique.

Terylene, Melamine polymer and Nylon 6,6 are synthesized using condensation (step-growth) polymerization technique.

$n C F_{2} = C F_{2} Tetrafluoroethylene (monomer) Vinyl Polymerisation, free radical - --------------------------- \to (- C F_{2} - C F_{2} -)_{n} Teflon (polymer)$

Hence, the correct option is $D$
