Solution

The correct option is A True
Ductility is when a solid material stretches under tensile stress. If ductile, a material may be stretched into a wire. Malleability, a similar property, is a material's ability to deform under pressure (compressive stress). If malleable, a material may be flattened by hammering or rolling.
