Correct answer: A. Compressive strength
- A. Compressive strength

- C. Shock resistance
- D. Resistance to brittleness
Explanation
Cast iron withstands very high compressive loads because its graphite-rich structure resists squeezing. It is weak in tension and is brittle, so ductility and shock resistance are poor.
