Which one of the following substances possesses the highest elasticity?

$A$ pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross-sectional area $A$ has a time period $T$. When an additional mass $M$ is added to its bob,the time period changes to $T_M$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $Y$,then $\frac{1}{Y}$ is equal to ($g$ = gravitational acceleration).

$A$ wire of cross-sectional area $10^{-6} \, m^2$ is stretched such that its length increases by $0.1\%$. If the tension produced in the wire is $1000 \, N$, calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.

If in case $A$,the elongation in a wire of length $L$ is $l$,then for the same wire,the elongation in case $B$ will be:
