JEE Main 25 July 2021, Shift 1, Chemistry Q48

Question 48 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 18 of 30, Section A.

[figure: polymer repeating unit −(CH2-(\mathrm{CH_2}-C6H3(OH)-CH2\mathrm{CH_2}-C6H3(OH)-CH2)−\mathrm{CH_2})-, phenol rings joined through CH2 groups at ortho and para positions relative to OH] is a repeating unit for :

The figure, in words

Repeating unit in large brackets: CH2 linking two phenol rings (each with OH ortho to the CH2 links), i.e. the novolac type phenol-formaldehyde chain.
