    C) Synthetic rubber has different monomers than natural rubber

    Explanation:

    Hello,

    In this case, since statements A and B are correct due to the abundance of natural rubber and that both of them have the same properties making then suitable for several applications specially in the production of tires, belts, hoses, footwear and others, chemically, the best statement is C since the main monomers associated with synthetic rubber are derived from the petroleum byproducts such as styrene-butadiene whose condensation lead to the polymer forming the rubber. However, natural rubber is based on the isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) as the promoting monomer whose polymerization lead to its formation.

    Best regards.
