Solution

The correct option is C Polymers can be natural or synthetic
A polymer is a large molecule or a macromolecule which essentially is a combination of monomers.

Polymers can be natural or synthetic. Natural polymers occur naturally and are found in plants and animals. For example proteins, starch. Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers. Plastic is the most common and widely used synthetic polymer.

Hence, option B is correct.
