B Correct answer
Explanation

Jade is exceptionally tough (resistant to breaking) compared to other stones, which is why ancient cultures used it for tools, weapons, and implements that required durability. Its toughness comes from its interlocking crystalline structure. While diamond is harder, jade is tougher - meaning it resists fracture and chipping better, making it ideal for functional objects.
