The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Terylene (Dacron) is a polyester (terephthalic acid + ethylene glycol).
Nylon (nylon-6,6 from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, or nylon-6 from caprolactam) has repeating \(\mathrm{-CO{-}NH-}\) amide links: a polyamide.
Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene and vulcanised rubber is cross-linked rubber (sulphur bridges); neither contains amide groups.
Answer: (2) Nylon
