Correct answer: A. Bulk modulus
- A. Bulk modulus
- B. Shear modulus
- C. Elastic modulus
- D. Young's modulus
Explanation
The ratio of volumetric stress to volumetric strain is known as the bulk modulus. It measures the resistance of a material to a change in volume when subjected to an external pressure.
