Answer:

b)False

Step-by-step explanation:

When one or more than one monomer join to other monomer then they form a chain and this joining of monomers is called degree of polymerization .

Degree of polymerization :


Degree\ of\ polymerization=(Mass\ of\ polymer)/(Mass\ of\ monomer)

So from above we can say that when chain will become longer then the weight of polymer will increase.
