C Correct answer
Explanation

Thermoplastics are characterized by weak Van der Waals forces between polymer chains (allowing melting and reshaping), the ability to melt upon heating, and formation via addition polymerization. They have HIGH molecular weights (typically 10,000-1,000,000 g/mol), not low molecular weights - low molecular weight compounds are usually small molecules or oligomers.
