The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(a) High density polythene is made by coordination polymerisation of ethene with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst (TiCl4 + triethylaluminium): (III).
(b) Polyacrylonitrile is made by free-radical addition polymerisation of acrylonitrile using a peroxide initiator: (I).
(c) Novolac is formed from phenol and formaldehyde (less than one equivalent) in the presence of an acid (or base) catalyst: (IV).
(d) Nylon 6 is formed from caprolactam by heating with water at high temperature and pressure (ring-opening condensation): (II).
So (a)-(III), (b)-(I), (c)-(IV), (d)-(II).
Answer: (2) (a) → (III), (b) → (I), (c) → (IV), (d) → (II)
