This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Option (A) and (B)
Explanation: The polymers that are not harmful to the environment are biodegradable polymers. PHBV (Poly beta-hydroxybutyrate co-beta-hydroxy valerate) is a biodegradable polymer. It undergoes bacterial degradation in the environment. PHBV is obtained by the polymerization of 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.
Nylon-2, Nylon-6 polymers are also biodegradable. It is obtained by the polymerization of glycine and aminocaproic acid.
