Answer: The correct answer is image 1 shows a monomer, and Image 2 shows a polymer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A monomer is defined as the molecule that react with the same molecule to form a large molecule known as polymer. These are the repeating units in a polymer.

A polymer is a large molecule which are formed when a large number of same type of molecules react together.

A macro-molecule is defined as a very large molecule such as proteins which are formed by the polymerization of monomers. They are known as natural polymers.

A synthetic polymer are defined as the polymers which are made by humans. They are known as artificial polymers.

In the images given, Image 1 represents a monomer known as ethylene and Image 2 is a polymer known as polyethylene.

Hence, the correct answer is image 1 shows a monomer, and Image 2 shows a polymer,
