Correct answer: C. Monomers
- A. Biopolymers
- B. Dimers
- C. Monomers
- D. Metamers
Explanation
Polymers are large molecules constructed by linking together many small, identical or similar molecules called monomers. Monomers are the basic building blocks that repeat to form the polymer chain. Biopolymers refer to polymers produced by living organisms, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and are not the repeating units themselves. Dimers consist of two subunits and do not form long-chain structures like polymers. Metamers relate to a specific type of isomerism and are unrelated to polymer formation.

About Industrial Chemistry
Industrial chemistry applies chemical reactions and material properties to the manufacture of adhesives, dyes and polymers. Coverage includes addition and condensation polymerisation, thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, the structural basis of colour in dyes, and how adhesive composition enables bonding between surfaces.
