C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
Vulcanization is a chemical process used to strengthen and improve the elasticity, durability, and heat resistance of rubber. It involves the formation of cross-links between polymer chains in the rubber molecules. During vulcanization, the double bonds in the polymer chains are typically involved in the formation of these cross-links.
Therefore, the correct answer to your question is: the double bond. Vulcanization involves the formation of cross-links, often through the double bonds present in the polymer chains of rubber, resulting in a stronger and more stable material.
