The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
As, work done $=1 / 2 \times$ stress $\times$ strain $=1 / 2 \times Y \times(\text { strain })^2$ Since elasticity of steel is more than that of copper hence more work has to be done in order to stretch the steel.
