This is for nominal or engineering stress-strain. So the answer will be less than.

Here it's not asked about nominal breaking stress, Breaking stress is obviously less than ultimate stress but in case of the nominal case we should consider the net cross-section area at the time of breaking so in the case of nominal breaking, ultimate stress will be less.
