B shear modulus of elasticity

C bulk modulus of elasticity

D tangent modulus of elasticity

E all the above.

ANS:E - all the above.

Hydrostatic stress, also known as volumetric stress.

Ratio of Volumetric stress to volumetric strain within the elastic limit is known as the bulk modulus of elasticity.
