Step 1
Choose the correct polymer structure from the options provided.
Answer
Upon examining the structures presented in options (A) through (D), the correct polymer made from the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate is found in option (B). This is the only structure that matches the repeating unit expected from the polymerization of methyl methacrylate.
