A material that returns to its original shape once the deforming force is removed is said to be
Aplastic
Belastic
Cbrittle
Dductile
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. elastic
Elasticity is the property of returning to the original configuration when the deforming force is removed. Plastic materials retain the deformation. Brittle and ductile describe *how* a material fails or yields, not whether it recovers.
