Solution
The correct option is BCH2=C|Cl−CH=CH2 The monomer of neoprene (synthetic rubber) is chloroprene. Neoprene or polychloroprene is formed by the free radical polymerisation of chloroprene. It has superior resistance to vegetable and mineral oils. It is used for manufacturing conveyor belts, gaskets, and hoses.
