Para rubber is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Para rubber is Hevea brasiliensis.
It is the tree that naturally produces rubber. It is native to tropical areas in South America, in the Amazon (Brazil).
Para Rubber trees belong to the Euphorbiaceae family. In the wild, they may reach heights of 100 to 125 ft (30 - 38 m) with large cylindrical trunks with or without buttresses.
Their trunks are cut just deep enough to tap the vessels without harming the tree's growth and the sap is collected in small buckets. This process is known as rubber tapping.
