Resin is a natural product that is typically obtained from coniferous trees, making option 2 the correct answer. Coniferous trees, such as pine, spruce, and fir trees, produce resin as a defense mechanism against insect attacks and other forms of damage. Resin helps to seal wounds and protect the tree from infection. It is a sticky substance that hardens over time and has various uses. It can be used as an ingredient in varnishes, adhesives, and coatings. It is also used in the production of certain types of plastic and rubber. While other plants may produce substances similar to resin, such as latex from rubber trees (option 3), grapes (option 1) and banyan trees (option 4) do not produce resin.
