The option will be A, vulcanization makes rubber more elastic more tensile strength and resistance to atmospheric oxidation.

Option B is right.

Less elastic means take more time to return its original shape.

Like as steel is more elastic because it take less time to return it's original shape.

Vulcanization makes rubber more elastic.
Vulcanization converts plasticity into elasticity.
Then how B is the right option? Explain please.

Less elastic material means the material is able to stretch more than its initial condition.

We know that vulcanization of rubber means that plasticity converts into elasticity so, Normally elasticity of rubber will be increased.

The more elastic material is called less elastic.
