Solution

The correct option is D Polyterpene
Natural rubber, formerly an important raw material for the rubber industry, is primarily obtained by coagulating the milk juice (latex) of Havea brasiliensis, growing in the Amazonian area of Brazil and South Eastern Asia. The milky juice is an emulsion of polyterpene in water, which is stabilized by proteins as protecting colloids.
