Bruno Andrade · Answer 1

Answer: b) False

Explanation:Ceramic is brittle in nature therefore it has a tendency that it is strong during the compression and it tends to be weak during the high tensile forces. While the tensile forces are applied, ceramics are not able to yield the stress and cause breakage of the material due to high tension but does not face any fault during the compression.
