PMA (Poly Methyl Acrylate) polymer is formed by methyl acrylate, which is prepared as follows:

Correct answer: B. Option B

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation

This reaction involves the alkyne HC≡CH (acetylene), carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CH3OH), and nickel tetracarbonyl (Ni(CO)4). Under these conditions, the reaction leads to the formation of methyl acrylate, which is the precursor for PMA (Poly Methyl Acrylate) polymer. Therefore, option B is the correct choice as it describes the appropriate reaction conditions for the formation of methyl acrylate, which is used to produce PMA polymer.
