The correct answer is: Nylon 2- nylon 6
Nylon 2-Nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer of glycine (NH2-CH2-COOH) and amino caproic acid [NH2-(CH2)5COOH] and is biodegradable too.
Rest other are obtained from different monomers. For example Buna-N is made of Buta-1,3-di-ene and vinyl cyanide. Nylon 6,6 is co-polymer of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
