Question 11 / 40:  Which of the following is a correct definition of Poisson's ratio?
A  It is the ratio of transverse strain to normal strain, resulting from normal stress.
B  It is the ratio of specimen volume upon compression with a known stress to that without compression.
C  It is the ratio of the rebound length of a material specimen after temporary extension to its
initial length.
D  It is the ratio of shear stress to normal stress.
E  It is the ratio of shear strain to normal strain.
