More shrinkage occurs if there is more _________.

polymer
water
monomer
benzoyl peroxide

The correct answer is: monomer

Shrinkage occurs due to monomers joining together to form a polymer. More monomers present means more opportunities for shrinkage to occur. The incorrect choices are A) Polymer - While polymers are the end product of the shrinkage process, they do not directly cause the shrinkage. B) Water - Water can affect the shrinkage rate in some materials, but it is not the sole determining factor. D) Benzoyl peroxide - This is a catalyst used in the polymerization process, but it does not directly contribute to the shrinkage.
