Biodegradable polymer which can be produced from glycine and aminocaproic acid is
A Nylon 2–nylon 6
B PHBV
C Buna-N
D Nylon 6, 6

Detailed Solution

$H_2N-CH_2-COOH$ (glycine) + $H_2N-(CH_2)_5-COOH$ (aminocaproic acid) $\xrightarrow{-H_2O}$ $\left[-NH-CH_2-CO-NH-(CH_2)_5-CO-\right]_n$
This alternating polyamide is nylon-2-nylon-6, a biodegradable polymer.
