Answer:

Nickel and Titanium

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitinol is an alloy of Nickel and Titanium. It posesses two properties such that,

  • The shape memory effect
  • Super elasticity

Shape memory is the ability of nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, stay in its deformed shape when the external force is removed.

Superelasticity is the ability for the metal to undergo large deformations and immediately return to its undeformed shape upon removal of the external load.

Hence, the correct option is (b) "Nickel and Titanium".
