This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Option (A) and (D)

Explanation: Vulcanisation is a process used to improve the physical properties of natural rubber. This method involves heating a mixture of raw rubber, sulphur, and an appropriate additive to temperatures ranging from 373 K to 415 K. Sulphur forms cross links at the reactive sites of double bonds during vulcanisation, stiffening the rubber.
