Detailed Solution

Terminal 1-alkenes (ethylene and alkenes with the vinyl double bond) are polymerized as follows using Ziegler Natta catalysts: 

nCH2=CHR[CH2-CHR]n .

Zeigler-Natta catalyst is formed by the action of (C2​H5​)3​Al and TiCl4​. Active species is Ti3+ as (C2​H5​)3​Al) reduces TiCl4 to TiCl3​.

Ti3+ has active site vacant and thus, can accommodate one alkyl group.

Hence the correct option is (D).
