  • (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
  • (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)
  • (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
  • (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct pairings between List-I and List-II are:

- (A) A force per unit area that restores an elastic body to its original state matches Stress (III). Stress is force divided by area, acting to revert deformation.
- (B) Equal and opposite forces parallel to opposite faces correspond to Shear modulus (IV). Shear modulus quantifies a material's reaction to shear stress, involving parallel surface forces.
- (C) Forces applied perpendicularly to a surface per unit area correspond to Bulk modulus (I). Bulk modulus describes a material's response to uniform pressure and its uniform compressibility.
- (D) Equal and opposite forces perpendicular to opposite faces correspond to Young’s modulus (II). Young’s modulus relates to stretching or compression perpendicular to applied forces.

The correct matching is:

\[ \text{(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)}. \]
