AS THE UNIT OF RESILIENCE IS joule/m3,

So correct definition is energy absorbed per unit volume within elastic limit is resilience.

Hence answer D.

Resilence is ability of material to absorb energy within elastic limit.

And toughness is to absorb energy within plastic limit.
Vinod said:   10 years ago
Ability of a material to absorb energy in the elastic region when it is strained.

So the option is 'A'.
