All except carbon disulfide, CS_2, are mixtures......

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of isomers; even the petroleum spirit supplied in the lab is a mixture of C_4-C_6 hydrocarbons. Rubber latex is a polymer, and vulcanizing solution is a proprietary mixture of sulfur and other materials......

On other hand, CS_2 is a volatile solvent with a particularly foul odour, and is particularly flammable.
