To solve this problem, we need to understand the structure of natural rubber.Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene).The polymerization of isoprene units in natural rubber occurs in a specific configuration.Let's analyze the options:• Option 1: All cis-configuration.• Option 2: All trans-configuration.• Option 3: Alternate cis- and trans-configuration.• Option 4: Random cis- and trans-configuration.Natural rubber predominantly consists of polyisoprene chains with a cis-configuration.This means that the double bonds in the polymer chain are in the cis-configuration.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: All cis-configuration.
