The correct answer is option 3 - Rubber plant. Latex is a milky sap that is produced by various plants and trees. It is used commercially in the production of rubber products. Option 1 - Papaya plant, does not produce latex that is used commercially. Option 2 - Sial kanta plant, is not commonly known for its latex production. Option 4 - Banyan tree, also does not produce latex that is used commercially. Therefore, the rubber plant is the most common and well-known source of commercial latex production. The sap is harvested from the rubber tree, processed, and used in the manufacturing of various rubber products such as tires, gloves, and rubber bands.
