Solution

The correct option is B
Permanent deformation without breaking or rupturing

The plasticity is nothing but the ability of a metal to withstand severe permanent deformation without breaking or rupturing.

In other words, it is the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces.
