SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the determination of Young's Modulus from a stress-strain graph. User B argues that material B has the highest slope in the linear region, suggesting it should be the correct answer. However, the answer key indicates material A is correct. The consensus is that Young's Modulus is defined by the slope of the elastic portion of the curve, confirming that material B is indeed the correct choice based on its linear characteristics.
