Which is a characteristic of condensation polymerization?

Condensation polymerization joins monomers by reacting their functional groups, typically eliminating a small molecule such as water. The monomers therefore generally have more than one functional group so they can link into long chains. Choice C, “Each monomer has more than one functional group,” is correct; choice D describes addition polymerization, where all monomer atoms are retained in the polymer.
