The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Energy density stored in a stretched material: \[ u=\frac12(\text{stress})(\text{strain}) \] From graph: At strain: \[ 4\times10^{-4} \] stress is: \[ 80\times10^6\ \text{N/m}^2 \]

Step 1: Apply formula for energy density. \[ u=\frac12 \times 80\times10^6 \times 4\times10^{-4} \] \[ u=\frac12 \times 32000 \] \[ u=16000\ \text{J/m}^3 \] Hence, \[ \boxed{16000\ \text{J/m}^3} \]
