I think your third example should read C5H12. If that is so, then it is saturated, and cannot be a monomer. Glycine can form a polymer, as can tetrafluoroethene and chloroethene.

NH2CH2COOH

i did it by elimination, the others must be monomers because they are all simple, this one looks a bit complex and looks like it could be arranged in more than one way

the second one is an ester, which is a double bonded O and a single bonded O on a carbon.
