The property by which a body regains its original shape after removal of force is defined as Correct Answer elasticity

Explanation:

Given below are the property name along with their definition.

Property

Definition

Elasticity

  • It is the property of a material to regain its original shape after deformation when the external forces are removed.

Plasticity

  • It is the property of a material that retains the deformation produced under load permanently. 

  • Thus, it is a property of material which allows it to deform without fracture

Ductility

  • The property of the material that allows it to be drawn into wires or elongated before failure is known as ductility.

Malleability 

  • The property of a material to deform under compression.

  • The metals having malleable property can be rolled or beaten into sheets.

  • An example is aluminium foil.

Toughness

  • The ability of the material to withstand stress (resist fracture due to high impact loads) without fracture is known as toughness.

  • It is defined as the ability to absorb energy in the plastic state.
