Elastomers can extend upto
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Elastomers are a type of polymer that are known for their ability to stretch and deform under stress and then return to their original shape when the stress is removed. This property, called elasticity, is what gives elastomers their name. Elastomers can stretch to great lengths, often up to ten times their original dimensions, without breaking or permanently deforming. This makes them useful in a variety of applications, such as seals, gaskets, and shock absorbers, where a flexible and durable material is needed.

Just you cut elastic band, make a tension force, & analyze yourself.

An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (having both viscosity and elasticity) and very weak inter-molecular forces, generally having low Young's modulus and high failure strain compared with other materials.

Elastomer materials are those materials that are made of polymers that are joined by chemical bonds, acquiring a final slightly cross linked structure.
The main characteristic of elastomer materials is the high elongation and flexibility or elasticity of these materials, against its breaking or cracking.

Elastomer is used as bearing pad in the bridges to take care of vibrations and expansions.

Rubber band is an example of Elastomers. Rubber band could be stretched long absolutely 10 times.

Elastomer are the material with fibres which can extend upto 10 times their dimension and they can revert to their original dimension when the stress is released and hystersis loop is formed,
Elastomers are used in bridge girder support like neoprene bearing pad, also for the base isoloation in earthquake proof building neoprene bearing is used.
