Young's modulus (also known as modulus of elasticity, elastic modulus or tensile modulus) is a measurement of elasticity. Rubber has a Young's modulus of 1,500-15,000, and steel has 30,000,000. So definitely steel is more elastic.

Rubber chord is more elastic.Steel wire can broke after some time but the chances of breaking of the rubber chord are far less,as the material is much more elastic.

Since elasticity is the ability to recover size and shape after deformation, the correct answer is rubber. Steel can stretch within limits, but will not return to it's original shape.

steel is more elastic than rubber.. since an ideal elastic body is one which regains its original dimension even after stretching it..
incase of rubber, it will tear off when given larger tesion.

steel bounces higher than rubber, because anything called 'metal' must have a very high ability to return to shape.
