Stiffness matrix depends on

Q.  
Stiffness matrix depends on


Answer & Explanation

The stiffness matrix of a structure is determined by both its material properties (such as Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio) and its geometry (such as length, area, and shape). Material properties influence how the material resists deformation, while geometry affects the distribution and magnitude of forces. Both factors are essential in determining the overall stiffness of the structure.

Thus correct option is: C.
