Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given amino acid on reaction with $\mathrm{NaNO}{2} / \mathrm{H}{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}$gives diazotisation reaction which further evolves $-\mathrm{N}{2}$ gas along with formation of carbocation. On further reaction with water, it form $\mathrm{HOOC}-\left(\mathrm{CH}{2}\right)-\mathrm{OH}$ that undergoes polymerisation to give polymer.
