Steel is preferred for making spring over
copper. Why?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Young's Modulus of steel is more than that of copper

Option B (Young's Modulus of steel is more than that of copper) is correct because a higher Young's modulus indicates greater stiffness, making steel a better choice for springs.
