Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Vulcanization is a process in which natural rubber is treated with sulphur and certain organic compounds which accelerate the reaction between the rubber and sulphur. Thus about 5% S is used for making tyre rubber, 20-25% S for making ebonite and 30% S for making battery case rubber.
