Correct answer
DPoly--hydroxybutyrate-co--hydroxyvalerate
Step-by-step explanation
Polyesters are formed by condensation reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acid.
Poly- -hydroxybutyrate-co- -hydroxy valerate (PHBV) is a polymer obtained by condensation reaction of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid with 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.
Hence, PHBV is a polyester.
Poly- -hydroxybutyrate-co- -hydroxy valerate (PHBV) is a polymer obtained by condensation reaction of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid with 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.
Hence, PHBV is a polyester.
