The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Buna rubbers are copolymers of 1,3-butadiene (Bu for butadiene, na for sodium catalyst).

Step 2: Identify the second monomer
Buna-S uses styrene, whereas Buna-N uses acrylonitrile (N for nitrile).

Step 3: Conclusion
Butadiene with acrylonitrile gives Buna-N, which is oil resistant. Polystyrene is a homopolymer and neoprene comes from chloroprene.

Final Answer:
The polymer is Buna-N. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{Buna-N}} \]
