The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Bakelite is formed by condensation polymerisation of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of either an acid or a base catalyst. The initially formed o- and p-hydroxy methylphenol derivatives further react to form a linear polymer called novolac which on heating with formaldehyde undergoes cross linkage to form an infusible solid called bakelite.
