Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polyester is formed from the reaction of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol. Both of these molecules have two functional groups that can form ester linkages, and so they are capable of reacting with each other to form the polyester polymer. Therefore, option C, which states that the reactants should have at least two functional groups that can form ester linkages, is the correct choice. The other options - A, B, and D - are not applicable to the formation of polyester.
