Latex is a stable emulsion of polymer microparticles. It is found in nature as a milky fluid in 10% of angiosperms.

The word latex is also used to refer to the natural rubber, especially non-vulcanized rubber. Latex containing plants are divided or classified on the basis of chemical composition and morphological traits. Morphological trait means changes to the outward appearance of organs or parts of plants or animals.

So, the correct option is C.
