Adipic acid react with dimethyl terthalate to form condensation polymer:

Correct answer: B. Dacron

  • A. Nylon-6,8
  • B. Dacron
  • C. Teflon
  • D. Bylor-6,6

Explanation

The condensation polymerization of adipic acid with dimethyl terephthalate produces polyethylene terephthalate, commonly known as Dacron. This process involves the elimination of small molecules like water or methanol. Nylon-6,8 and Teflon are unrelated to these reactants, as they are formed from different chemical processes and monomers. Bylor-6,6 is not recognized as a valid polymer.
