The process of vulcanisation makes rubber:

ASoluble in water
BElastic
CHard
Correct Answer
DSoft

Solution

Vulcanization is a chemical process in which the rubber is heated with sulphur at 373K to 415K. The process involves the formation of cross-links between long rubber molecules so as to achieve improved elasticity, resilience, tensile strength, viscosity, hardness and weather resistance.
Hence, option $$C$$ is correct.
