B Correct answer
Explanation

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of linear stress (force per unit area) to linear strain (proportional deformation) in the elastic region. Option B states this correctly. Option A describes a different modulus (not standard), C is Shear Modulus, and D incorrectly describes Young's Modulus as inverse of Bulk Modulus.
