Answer:

The monomer of natural rubber is isoprene.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural rubber is from the monomer isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene). Since isoprene has two double bonds, it still retains one of them after the polymerization reaction. Natural rubber has the cis configuration for the methyl groups.
