Ok umm shear-break off or cause to break off, owing to a structural strain. compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions. tension-the state of being stretched tight.

pooja195 (pooja195):

these are from google and not mine which one do you think it can be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B or C,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized Compression has nothing to do with it, yet B doesn't sound right, so most likely C

pooja195 (pooja195):

YES! good this on is C if youve ever heard of shear stress :P
