Best answer
The correct answer is (c) Polyvinyl Chloride

Best explanation: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is not a food grade polymer. It is toxic in nature.  A polymer is a labeled food grade when it is inert and doesn’t react with food in a harmful manner. Ethylene propylene diene monomer, polyurethane and viton are food grade polymers.
