Polyvinyl chloride is:

AAn isomer of vinyl chloride.
BAn addition product of vinyl chloride
Correct Answer
CAn allotrope polymer of vinyl chloride
DA polymer of hydrated vinyl chloride

Solution

Each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties called isomer.

An addition polymer is a polymer that forms by simple linking of monomers without the co-generation of other products.

Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element; the atoms of the element are bonded together in a different manner.

Polyvinyl chloride is a polymer produced by addition polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer $$(CH_2-CHCl)$$. So, they neither be isomers nor allotropes.

Hence. option $$B$$ is correct.
