Synthetic rubber can be produced by the polymerization of several monomers, but 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (commonly known as isoprene) is the monomer used to create polyisoprene, a synthetic rubber that is chemically identical to natural rubber. While other synthetic rubbers exist, such as neoprene (made from 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene) and SBR (made from styrene and 1,3-butadiene), 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene is the specific diene listed in your options that serves as a fundamental building block for rubber synthesis.
