The monomer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is

A $ClCH = CHCl$ (1,2-dichloroethene)
B $CH X_{2} = CCl X_{2}$ (1,1-dichloroethene)
C $CH X_{2} = CH - CH X_{2} - Cl$ (3-chloropropene)
D $CH X_{2} = CH - Cl$ (chloroethene)

Answer: D

PVC is

- [CH X_{2} - CH (Cl)] X_{n} X^{-}

, formed by addition polymerisation of chloroethene (vinyl chloride),

CH X_{2} = CH - Cl

.
