The stress-strain graphs for the two materials are shown in the figure.
(assumed the same scale)

     

(a) Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i) and hence material (ii) is more brittle
(b) Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and the same brittleness
(c) Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i)
(d) Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i)
 

Choose the correct statements from the given ones: 
1. (a) and (c) only
2. (c) and (d) only
3. (b) and (c) only
4. (b) and (d) only
