Solution

Explanation:

  • Homopolymer - If only one type of monomeric unit takes part to form a polymeric structure, it is called as a homopolymer.
  • Example = Glycogen, starch, chitin

Since (i) is made up of only A type of monomer, it is a homopolymer

  • Copolymer - If two types of monomeric units take part to form a polymeric structure, it is called as a copolymer.
  • Example = Nylon6-6, dacron, glyptal

Since (ii) is made up of A and B type of monomer, it is a copolymer.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
