The correct answer is: a condensation polymerization reaction

Condensation polymerization takes place between two bifunctional monomers, which results in the formation of high molecular mass condensation polymer. Dacron is obtained by the condensation polymerisation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It is an example of polyester.
