    Option (b)

    Explanation:

    As the actor swings on a steel cable, the cable stretches due to the weight of the actor. So, the stress produced by the weight of the actor is longitudinal stress and the strain is also longitudinal in nature.

    The modulus of elasticity associated to the normal stress and the longitudinal strain is young's modulus.
