Question

What is an ethenic polymer?

(a) Polymers made from monomers having bifunctional group

(b) Polymers made from multiple monomers

(c) Polymers made from monomers having trifunctional group

(d) Simple polymers

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question comes from Ethenic Polymers in section Polymerization Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Polymers made from monomers having bifunctional group

For explanation I would say: Polymers made from monomers having the bifunctional group are ethenic because ethylene has the simplest all hydrogen atom structure and others are substitutions of other groups at w, x, y and z positions.
