8

Which of the following polymer can be formed by using the following monomer unit?

46

Assertion (A) Rayon is a semisynthetic polymer and is taken as a better choice than cotton fabric.

Reason (R) Mechanical and aesthetic properties of cellulose can be improved by Acetylation.

47

Assertion (A) Most of the synthetic polymers are not biodegradable.
