Answer:

By definition the ultimate tensile strength is the maximum stress in the stress-strain deformation. The stress at 0.2% strain, the stress at the onset of plastic deformation, the stress at the end of the elastic deformation and the stress at the fracture correspond, by definition, to other points of the stress-strain curve.
