• D. Glycine + amino caproic acid

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Glycine + amino caproic acid

Answer 2

It is a copolymer of glycine $\left( \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N} - \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } - \mathrm { COOH } \right)$ and amino caproic acid $\left[ \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm {~N} \left( \mathrm { CN } _ { 2 } \right) _ { 5 } \mathrm { COOH } \right]$
