Best answer
Correct option is (a) Silicone rubber

The best explanation: The Silicone rubber gasket is used to maintain the gas-tight seal in stirred laboratory fermenters. The vessel body and the lid are joined by the ground glass and have a silicone rubber gasket and the joint is held together with a screw and wire clip arrangement.
