The property to restore the natural shape or to oppose the deformation is called

The property to restore the natural shape or to oppose the deformation is called:

  • A. elasticity
  • B. plasticity
  • C. ductility
  • D. none of the above

Step-by-step solution

Elasticity is the property of a material to regain its original shape and size after the removal of deforming forces. Plasticity leads to permanent deformation, ductility is the ability to be drawn into wires, so elasticity is the correct term.
