The quality that can be tested by gently pulling and straightening the hair to see whether it returns to its previous shape or breaks is:

**b) Elasticity**

Elasticity refers to the hair's ability to stretch and return to its original shape without breaking. This characteristic is important in assessing the overall health and condition of hair.
