Solution
The correct option is A Silicone rubber Putty is a stretchable and moldable material that you can use in a variety of ways such as craft projects, home projects and for securing objects. Different types of putty work better for different applications. Some putty serves as a toy for kids, while other putty can cover cracks in floors and walls.
Bounding putty is made from a mixture of silicone polymers (about 70 wt%) and other chemicals, including boric acid. Powdered fillers (clay and calcium carbonate) and dry pigments (to produce color or glitter) are also added. A homemade recipe can be made from mixing together water, white glue, and borax solution.
