The correct answer is C) ratio of stress to strain is more
Steel is more elastic than rubber because it has a higher density, is a metal, and has a higher ratio of stress to strain.
This means that for a given stress, the strain produced in steel is much smaller than that produced in the rubber. As a result, the Young’s modulus of elasticity is higher for steel than for rubber, allowing it to compress or stretch more without permanent deformation.
