A
Correct answer
Explanation
(P) Vulcanization 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.
(Q) Buna-N is the copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.
(R) Cellulose is treated with sulfuric 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 P is only incorrect.
