Solution

The correct option is D Rubber is dipped in ether.
Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an enormous increase in volume.
Rubber is a colloidal substance but elastic. So it can easily absorb ether and absorption takes place and imbibition occurs.
So the correct answer is 'Rubber is dipped in ether'.
