This structure shows a section of a polymer chain formed from the random polymerisation of two different monomers.

A section of an addition polymer chain with a horizontal 12-carbon backbone. From left to right: Carbon 1 has H/H, Carbon 2 has CN/H, Carbon 3 has CH3/H, Carbon 4 has H/H, Carbon 5 has H/H, Carbon 6 has CN/H, Carbon 7 has H/CN, Carbon 8 has H/H, Carbon 9 has H/H, Carbon 10 has CH3/H, Carbon 11 has H/CH3, and Carbon 12 has H/H.

Which pair of monomers could produce this polymer?

CH2=CH2\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}_2CH2​=CH2​ and CH(CN)=CHCH3\text{CH(CN)}=\text{CHCH}_3CH(CN)=CHCH3​

CH2=CHCN\text{CH}_2=\text{CHCN}CH2​=CHCN and CH2=CHCH3\text{CH}_2=\text{CHCH}_3CH2​=CHCH3​

CH2=CH2\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}_2CH2​=CH2​ and CH2=CHCN\text{CH}_2=\text{CHCN}CH2​=CHCN

CH2=CHCH3\text{CH}_2=\text{CHCH}_3CH2​=CHCH3​ and CHCN=CHCN\text{CHCN}=\text{CHCN}CHCN=CHCN
