Nylon is an example of

Nylon is an example of a polyamide. Polyamides are a group of synthetic polymers characterized by the presence of amide linkages (-CONH-) in their molecular structure. Nylon, specifically, is a synthetic polymer with amide backbones, usually linking aliphatic or semi-aromatic groups.

The options provided are:

a) Polyester: A category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain.

b) Polysaccharide: A carbohydrate polymer composed of long chains of monosaccharide units.

c) Polyamide: A polymer containing amide linkages in its main chain, which includes nylons.

d) Polythene: A polymer made from the polymerization of ethylene monomers, commonly known as polyethylene.
