Metals experience plastic deformation when _____. A. Their crystal patterns have been disrupted by stress
zaharov [31]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plastic deformation is the change in shape of an object or metal caused by the load of excess stress.

Thus, metals experience plastic deformation when their crystal patterns have been disrupted by stress.

When stress is provided to the metal then their crystal pattern gets deformed resulting in change of shape of the metal. Plastic deformation is a permanent deformation.
