Correct Option: A
The process of converting monomers into polymers is called polymerization. * **Polymerization:** This is the correct term for the chemical reaction that joins monomers to form a polymer. * **Oligomerization:** This refers to the process of joining a few monomers together, resulting in an oligomer (a short polymer). * **Condensation:** This is a type of polymerization where a small molecule (like water) is eliminated during the reaction, but polymerization is the broader term. * **Isomerization:** This is the process of rearranging the atoms within a molecule to form an isomer (a molecule with the same atoms but a different structure).
