Among the given options, biodegradable polymers are PHBV and Nylon-2-nylon-6.
PHBV or Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-co-β-hydroxyvalerate undergoes bacterial degradation in the environment.
Nylon-2-nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide co-polymer of glycine (H2N-CH2-COOH) and aminocaproic acid [H2N(CH2)5COOH] is a biodegradable polymer.
