Answer is "sucrose".

Polymer is a large molecule which is made from repeating units. The smallest repeating unit is called as monomer. Polystyrene, nylon and PVC are examples for polymers. But sucrose is a disaccharide which is made from glucose and fructose. Hence, sucrose is not an example of polymer.
