Answer:

The correct answer is - a condensation polymerization of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Condensation polymerization is a type of polymerization that forms a byproduct by the bonding of two different types of monomers during polymerization.

Polyester is an example of condensation polymerization which is formed by the polymerization of carboxylic acid and an alcohol monomer. In addition polymerization, there is only one type of monomers bond together.
