Solution

Yes, a rubber band is regarded as a solid.
When a force is applied to the rubber band, it gets stretched and there is a change in its shape and when the force is removed, it returns back and regains its original shape.
Due to the elasticity of rubber, upon the application of force, the shape can be changed.
