Question diagram
A

Young's modulus of the material

B

Bulk modulus of the material

C

Shear modulus of the material

D

Elastic limit of the material

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The slope of the initial linear portion of a stress-strain graph represents Young's modulus, as it indicates the proportionality between stress and strain for small deformations according to Hooke's law.
