Which change decreases tension when stretching elastomer chains?

💡 Explanation

Tension decreases through enhanced material intermolecular adhesion, and *increased van der Waals force*, because weaker attraction requires less energy to extend, therefore tension decreases, rather than the others, where chain stiffness resists chain expansion.
