The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Nylons are condensation polymers formed from amino acids or diamine-dicarboxylic acid combinations.

Step 1:
Check Nylon 6,6.
Nylon 6,6 is formed from \[ H_2N(CH_2)_6NH_2 \] and \[ HOOC(CH_2)_4COOH \] Hence II is correct.

Step 2:
Check Nylon 6.
Nylon 6 is formed from \[ H_2N(CH_2)_5COOH \] (caprolactam precursor). Hence III is correct.

Step 3:
Check Nylon 2,6.
The given monomer combination is not the standard representation. Therefore statement I is incorrect. \[ \boxed{\text{II and III only}} \]
