condensation polymerization, since a byproduct of the reaction is a single molecule of water (hence condensation of water)

addition polymerization is if you add the two polymers together like blocks and should have no byproducts

esterification is when you combine an organic acid with an alcohol. Since neither of the two polymers look like acids, you can rule this out.

never heard of saponification, Im an mechanical engineer not an organic chemist
