Solution

The correct option is A Manihot
Chicle gum is extracted from the sap of the trunk and is used in some natural chewing gums to this day. It was once a major component of chewing gums, often mixed with latex from the Jelutong tree (Dyera costulata), a Malaysian rain forest tree in the Apocynaceae.
So, the correct answer is 'Manihot.'
