Correct answer: B. Terpolymer
- A. Copolymer
- B. Terpolymer
- C. Homopolymer
- D. Biopolymer
Explanation
A terpolymer is formed when three different monomers are incorporated into one polymer. Copolymer is the broader term for a polymer made from two or more different monomers, so students may select it instead of the more specific term terpolymer.

About Polymers
Polymers are large molecules made from repeating monomer units joined by covalent bonds. The topic distinguishes addition polymers such as polyethylene, PVC and polystyrene from condensation polymers such as nylon and polyester, and relates chain structure to thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, properties, uses and environmental concerns.
