Step-growth polymer : These are the condensation polymers where on reaction of two different types of monomers, polymer is formed with giving out some byproduct such as water.
From the above four options only Nylon-6,6 is formed by condensation polymerisation between adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine with removal of an water molecule . 
Hence option B is the correct answer .
