  • A
    Galvanisation
  • Vulcanization
  • C
    Bessemerisation
  • D
    Sulphonation

Answer

Correct option: B.
Vulcanization
Vulcanisation of Rubber $-$ Natural rubber becomes soft at high temperature $(>335 K)$ and brittle at low temperature $(<283 K)$ and shows high water absorption capacity.
The process of vulcanisation includes heating of raw rubber with sulphur and an appropriate additive at temperature range between $373 K$ to $415 K.$ Sulphur foms crosslinks at reactive sites of double bonds and thus, rubber gets stiffened.
