ALKENES LIKE ETHYLENE JOIN END TO END TO FORM POLYETHYLENE BY ADDITION POLYMERIZATION TO FORM A LONG CHAIN SINCE THEY ARE UNSATURATED.

Answer: b. Addition polymerization

Explanation:

Polymerization is a chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers combine together to result into bigger molecules called as polymers.

Condensation polymerization : A chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers are joined to form a bigger molecule called as polymer and small by products are also formed along with the polymer.  Example: Nylon-6

Addition polymerization : A chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers are joined end to end to form a bigger molecule called as polymer.  Example: Polythene
