Solution
Condensation polymers are any kind of polymers formed through a condensation reaction, where molecules join together and losing small molecules as by-products such as water or methanol.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is formed by the addition of vinyl chloride molecules.
Teflon is an addition polymer of tetrafluoroethylene.
Dacron is prepared by polycondensation reaction in which terephthalic acid is heated up with ethylene glycol at 425 – 475 K.
Polystyrene is formed via the polymerization of styrene which is a petroleum-based, liquid hydrocarbon monomer.
Hence, option C is the answer. Dacron is a condensation polymer.
