The substances which undergo deformation with a small force are called;
Correct answer: A. Elastic substances
- A. Elastic substances
- B. Inelastic substances
- C. Diamagnetic substances
- D. Ductile substances
Explanation
Elastic substances are materials that undergo deformation when subjected to small forces, but they can return to their original shape and size once the force is removed.

About Deformation and Elasticity
Deformation and elasticity describe how solids change shape or volume under an applied force and return to their original form when the force is removed. Work includes stress, strain, Hooke’s law, elastic limit, Young’s modulus and elastic potential energy, while elastic deformation must be distinguished from permanent plastic deformation.
