B Correct answer
Explanation

Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process in 1839, which transforms natural rubber into a more durable material by adding sulfur and applying heat. This process revolutionized rubber manufacturing by making rubber stable and useful. Radial tires were invented much later (1940s) by Michelin, and artificial rubber was developed through entirely different chemical processes.
