The stress-strain curves are drawn for two different materials $X$ and $Y$. It is observed that the ultimate strength point and the fracture point are close to each other for material $X$ but are far apart for material $Y$. We can say that materials $X$ and $Y$ are likely to be (respectively)

  • A
    brittle and ductile
  • B
    ductile and brittle
  • C
    brittle and plastic
  • D
    plastic and ductile
