The elastic modulus that applies to tensile or compressive stress is called:

AYaw's modulus
BYear's modulus
CYoung's modulus
DYield's modulus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Young's modulus
1. Three moduli are named for three kinds of stress. 2. Stretching and squashing share one of them. 3. That one is Young's modulus. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 12, Static Equilibrium and Elasticity._
