Correct answer
Explanation
(A) Vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulphur or a solution of S2Cl2 in CS2.
(B) Buna-N is the copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.
(C) Cellulose is treated with sulphuric acid and potassium nitrate to give cellulose mononitrate. This was used commercially as Celluloid, a highly flammable plastic used in the first half of the 20th Century for lacquers and photographic film.
Hence, statement A is only incorrect.
