Correct answer: B. Stress

  • A. Strain
  • B. Stress
  • C. Modular ratio
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Young's modulus is stress divided by strain; since strain is dimensionless, its units are the same as stress, such as Pa or N/m². The modular ratio is dimensionless and cannot have the same units.
