Answer:
Correct Answer: 9. (c)
Solution:
- On polymerisation, 4-hydroxy butanoic acid will produce a condensation homopolymer by loss of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ molecules.
The homopolymer obtained can also be represented as $+\stackrel{|}{\mathrm{C}}-\left(\mathrm{CH}{2}\right){3} \mathrm{O}-{ }_{n}$
