Alfredo · Answer 1

C.

It is the force per unit area acting on the material's surface.

Elle · Answer 2

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Young's modulus is the ratio of tensile stress and tensile strain.

Bulk modulus is the ratio of pressure and volume strain.

Rigidity modulus is the ratio of shear stress and shear strain.

Here we are asked about Young's modulus which is the ratio of tensile stress and tensile strain.

Option C is the correct answer.
