The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

When the polymer forms from the monomers, the reaction will occur by breaking the #C=C# double bonds to form new #C-C# single bonds.

Therefore, all the #C# atoms in the polymer backbone are #sp^3# hybridized and the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.

Therefore, the #C-C-C# bonds angle is #109.5^@# through the entire polymer's backbone.
