The correct answer is B) both are made up of monomers that are linked by covalent bonds

Explanation:

The polymers consist of a set of monomers by covalent bonds. There are those that are natural (DNA formed by nucleotide units, proteins by amino acids, starch by glucose) and synthetics made by human hands (polyethylene formed by ethylene monomers).
