  • C
    A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
  • D
    A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Solution

Orlon is a man-made polymer of acrylonitrile. Thus, its monomer is vinyl cyanide or Prop-2-ene-1-nitrile. Natural Rubber is obtained from latex which is a sap of a tree. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene. Teflon is made of a chemical compound named polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which is a synthetic fluoropolymer. Nylon-6 is produced by ring-opening chain growth polymerisation of caprolactam in the presence of water vapour and an acid catalyst at the melt.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
