Cyclohexene, as shown in the diagram, can form an addition polymer. [Figure showing cyclohexene] Which structure represents a section of the polymer?
ASkeletal diagram showing a polymer backbone with pendant cyclohexyl groups.
BSkeletal diagram showing a polymer backbone formed by two adjacent carbons of saturated cyclohexyl rings, with the rest of the rings forming loops off the backbone.
CSkeletal diagram showing a polymer backbone formed by two adjacent carbons of saturated cyclohexyl rings, with the rest of the rings forming loops off the backbone, depicted with a slightly different orientation from B.
DSkeletal diagram showing a polymer backbone formed by fused saturated cyclohexyl rings.
