Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Water resistance
B Oxidation resistance
C High elasticity

• Rubber is water resistant because of which it is used in making hoses.
• It is used in things like belts, mats, etc., which are used in our day to day life as it does not corrode due to oxidation.
• It is used in making balloons, tyres, etc. as it is highly elastic.
