Rubber stretches far more than steel under the same load, yet physics calls steel the more elastic material. Judge the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) on this point.

Assertion (A): Steel is more elastic than rubber.
Reason (R): For the same stress, steel shows a much smaller strain than rubber, so its Young's modulus is much larger.
