D. polyethene
Best answer
Answer: D. polyethene
Answer: (d) polyethene
Vulcanized rubber, buna-S (styrene-butadiene rubber) and neoprene (polychloroprene) are elastomers: they have weak intermolecular forces and a few cross-links, so they stretch and regain their shape. Polyethene is a thermoplastic polymer, not an elastomer.
