Assertion: Natural rubber is very elastic in nature.

Reason: The coiled structure of cis-polyisoprene is held together by Vanderwaals forces.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Option A (Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because natural rubber's elasticity is due to the coiled structure of cis-polyisoprene held together by weak van der Waals forces.
