Correct Answer:
Option D - Necking is a type of plastic deformation observed in ductile materials subjected to tensile stress. This deformation is characterized by a localized reduction in the cross-sectional area of the material, giving it a "V" or 'neck' shape.
• Necking in a ductile material is observed after the body crosses the point of ultimate strength on the stress- strain curve.
