During addition polymerisation of ethene molecules, the initiator like benzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, terf-butyl peroxide, etc. are added. Their function is to:
  1. ensure anti-Markownikoff’s addition of molecules to form polymer
  2. give cations during the reaction which join to form bigger molecules
  3. decrease the temperature of the reaction mixture
  4. generate free radical which adds to the monomer to give bigger free radical

Answer

(D) generate free radical which adds to the monomer to give bigger free radical
