Correct answer: D. Toughness

  • A. Proportional limit
  • B. Brittleness

Toughness is the energy a material absorbs through elastic and plastic deformation before fracturing, represented by the total area under its stress-strain curve. Brittleness describes fracture with little plastic deformation, not energy absorption.
